This paper describes the architectural infrastructure to support a number of advanced functionalties for the clinical laboratory developed by OpenLabs. This infrastructure is based on an open distributed computing platform. A brief overview is given of the advanced functionalities provided by the OpenLabs modules through the novel application of knowledge-based systems, databases, and telematics; we also describe the communications architecture which allows these modules to interoperate with each other and with existing Laboratory Information Systems and instruments. The OpenLabs approach to the provision of generic interfaces to such existing systems is described, together with the OpenLabs Service Manager which supports the automated management of the laboratory in this distributed computing environment.
本文描述了由OpenLabs开发的用于支持临床实验室多种高级功能的架构基础设施。该基础设施基于一个开放的分布式计算平台。简要概述了OpenLabs模块通过基于知识的系统、数据库和远程信息处理的新颖应用所提供的高级功能；我们还描述了允许这些模块相互之间以及与现有实验室信息系统和仪器进行互操作的通信架构。阐述了OpenLabs为此类现有系统提供通用接口的方法，以及在这个分布式计算环境中支持实验室自动化管理的OpenLabs服务管理器。
