Downbelow (fictional planet)

Downbelow (also known as Pell's World) is a fictional planet in American science fiction and fantasy author C. J. Cherryh's Alliance-Union universe. It was the first planet discovered by humans with an advanced ecosystem and, more significantly, intelligent alien life in the form of the Hisa. Pell Station, a space station prominent in this universe, orbits the planet.

Downbelow features in a number of Alliance-Union universe novels, in particular Downbelow Station (1981) and Finity's End (1997).

Discovery

During the Earth Company's drive to colonise the stars, a planet orbiting Tau Ceti was discovered by a probe in 2093. The probe captain named the planet "Pell's World" and its star "Pell's Star" after himself. Pell Station was built in orbit around the planet, and the stationers soon began referring to the planet as Downbelow, while the station itself became known as Downbelow Station.

Pell's World is similar to Earth, except for a perpetual blanket of cloud that covers the entire world, resulting from a predominance of greenhouse gases. Humans quickly established a foothold on the planet, requiring only gas masks and air tanks to breathe in an atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide and airborne biologicals. They built research and agricultural stations in sealed domes that required no gas masks, and, with the help of the local Hisa, cultivated crops on the open plains. A shuttleport for ferrying personnel and light cargo to and from Upabove (as the space station was called on the planet) was established, and a launch pad for unmanned rockets constructed for lifting agricultural produce to the station. Heavy equipment and other large cargo was "dropped" to the planet from the station in capsules equipped with parachutes.

Health Informatics Service Architecture

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Standard Architecture for Healthcare Information Systems (ENV 12967), Health Informatics Service Architecture or HISA is a standard that provides guidance on the development of modular open information technology (IT) systems in the healthcare sector. Broadly, architecture standards outline frameworks which can be used in the development of consistent, coherent applications, databases and workstations. This is done through the definition of hardware and software construction requirements and outlining of protocols for communications. The HISA standard provides a formal standard for a service-oriented architecture (SOA), specific for the requirements of health services, based on the principles of Open Distributed Processing. The HISA standard evolved from previous work on healthcare information systems architecture commenced by Reseau d’Information et de Communication Hospitalier Europeen (RICHE) in 1989, and subsequently built upon by a number of organizations across Europe.
