This paper presents a distributed solution for the development of deformable model-based medical image segmentation methods. The design and implementation stages of the segmentation methods usually require a lot of time and resources, since the variations of the tested algorithms have to be constantly evaluated on many different data sets. To address this problem, we extended our web platform for development of deformable model-based methods with an ability to distribute the computational workload. The solution was implemented on a computing cluster of multi-core nodes with the use of the Java Parallel Processing Framework. The experimental results show significant speedup of the computations, especially in the case of resource-demanding three-dimensional methods.
