abstract = {In many fields of medicine interactive virtual environments can offer enhanced visualization and manipulation of three-dimensional objects, reconstructed from high-quality scans of human organs. Stereoscopic systems provide users with a natural depth perception about the spatial nature of the structures of interest; moreover advanced user-friendly interfaces, by allowing a natural and intuitive interaction, can strengthen the feeling of being immersed, so to offer clinicians the possibility to act how they do in the real life. In order to enhance the sense of realism specially in medical computer-assisted education, training and diagnostic fields, it is necessary to have a system in which every action can be executed directly into the 3D world without switching to a 2D visualization mode. In this paper we present new interaction techniques to select and extract a volume-of-interest (VOI) in a semi-immersive interactive environment, by using a user-friendly wireless interface, suitable to implement pointing and manipulation features with 6 DOF.},

Grid computing and pervasive computing have rapidly emerged and affirmed respectively as the paradigm for high performance computing and the paradigm for user-friendly computing. The conjunction of such paradigms are now generating a new one, the pervasive grid computing, which aims at extending classic grids with characteristics of pervasive computing like spontaneous and transparent integration of mobile devices, context-awareness, pro-activity, and so on. In this paper, we present a software infrastructure for integrating mobile devices as active resources in a grid. In particular, it has been developed a service able to dynamically distribute and execute user's tasks on a grid of mobile and fixed devices. Mobile devices participate to the grid in a way completely transparent to their owners, hence the computational power is given without any configuration operation and in a reliable way. As well, users willing of executing their applications directly submit their code without caring of choosing and allocating resources of the grid.
