Beyond the SPL
  • How do we make our science accessible beyond our
    collaborators?
  • Dissemination using web, presentations,
    publications
  • Sharing science and tools through
  • Free Open Source Software (FOSS)
  • Training and collaboration
  • A community of developers and users
  • Partnerships with Industry on our terms

NA-MIC is Big Science
  • Plus
  • Big Science can be a force multiplier
  • Development and adoption of best practices
  • Faster and higher-quality dissemination of new
    techniques and of new science
  • Minus
  • Change in culture needed
  • Replace
  • My research
  • with
  • Our research

48
FOSS in NA-MIC
  • Free
  • Open Source
  • No restrictions on use
  • No requirement to give back derived code (you
    decide how much you want to share)?
  • Software

I. Courouge et al.
49
The FOSS Value Proposition
  • Cost effective Reduced duplication
  • High quality Openness enables validation,
    debugging and local control
  • Lowers barriers for scientific exchange

Fletcher et al.

The NA-MIC Kit
  • Designed for Research (but compatible with
    commercial activities)
  • FOSS 3D Slicer, ITK, VTK, KWW
  • Software engineering methodology
  • Portable multi-platform cmake
  • Multi-site development nightly builds dart
  • Quality assurance automated testing ctest

Fischl et al.
51
MIC Outlook More and More
  • More Data
  • Acceleration of data production
  • Will drive the need for
  • More Algorithms
  • New classes of algorithms
  • More Software
  • An increasing number of tools will be needed
  • More Application Packages
  • Automated analysis as a method of data reduction

Levitt et al.
52
And What Else?
  • Many of these concepts are expandable
  • Beyond imaging
  • NA-MIC kit software methodology adopted by the
    KDE community
  • Beyond biomedical
  • Astronomical Medicine
