Table 1: APLIS components (Adv Anat Pathol 2012;19:81)
| Layer | Description | Examples |
| APLIS application | The software interface to the end user; usually programmed for a specific operating system and almost always programmed for a specific DBMS; has user interfaces for data entry and manipulation | Cerner, CoPath, Cerner, PathNet, Orchard, Harvest, LIS, SSC SoftPath |
| Database management systems | A specialized software package for the persistent storage and manipulation of data; currently the vast majority of these use the relational model and implement an SQL interface; in the LIS, high performance is not as important as high reliability, requiring certain tradeoffs to be made | Microsoft SQL Server, mySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle Database, MUMPS |
| Operating system | The fundamental control program through which the end user interacts with a computer; there are different operating systems that are suitable for different niches (e.g., it is far more common for Linux to be the operating system of choice for a server than for a personal computer) | Microsoft, Windows, Mac OS X, Linux |
| Hardware | Any physical device that either hosts or interfaces with the APLIS; requires both a hardware and a software interface for the operating system (and APLIS) to function | Server computer, client computer, barcode scanner, label printer, slide printer, H&E autostainer |

| Typical tasks | Detection of a morphological pattern (Lab Invest 2021;101:412) | Integration of all aspects of clinical workflow for more accurate diagnosis, prognosis and personalized treatment (Lab Invest 2021;101:412) |
| Parameter tuning | Image features / parameters are manually tuned |
Algorithm learns and extracts a large number of features automatically |
| Typical algorithm testing | Often on a few regions of the slide | Usually whole slide |
| Computer unit best suited for task | CPU (central processing unit) | GPU (graphics processing unit) |
| Number of training images required | Depending on application, may be low | Usually remarkably high |

Detection of metastatic tumor in lymph nodes
- The figure below illustrates the type of calculations that image data goes through in convolution and pooling operations
- Convolution operations involve an elementwise product between the filter and different segments of equal dimensions from the input matrix
- Pooling operations perform an aggregate operation (e.g., maximum or average) on a region
- In the example below, the maximum value was returned from 2 x 2 regions of the input matrix
