To test one of these, I have borrowed a Matlab model provided by a fellow student named Henrik Mygind1, which makes feature extraction on an image. The image, which is sent to the model, contains a birthmark. The feature extraction of the image happens with a view to be able to analyze the risk of melanoma. The assignment is to write about a distributed system to handle a dermatology diagnostic based on submitted images, which on the client side calls one or more web services which is implemented with basis of calculation in Matlab on the server side. This way, the mathematical platform Matlab has to offer in conventional code, is used to its fullest. In this respect, issues in this approach will be looked on, such as maintenance, errors, advantages and disadvantages." }
