=Topics=

== (1) Memory Management ==
* Large Image Handling
** streaming
** out of core data management (memory mapped files, etc)
** level of detail
** Google Earth 3D
** caching
* Decide on smartpointers e.g. C++0x/Boost
** Afternoon: check Qt vs C++0x/Boost smartpointers
** Rule: Use Smartpointers of the super-class; if there is no super-class, use the one decided upon in the afternoon...

== (2) Migrate some code to the repository (e.g. Qt widgets) and use it in our respective toolkits ==
Steve: goal to make some progress on consolidating some Qt widgets from our various projects into a repository that we can all contribute to.

== (3) DICOM IO layer on top of DCMTK: interpretation of DICOM data ==

* [http://www.atamai.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/AtamaiVTK/vtkAtamaiIO/?root=cvspriv David Gobbi's CMake/VTK wrappers for DCMTK]
* [http://graphics.tudelft.nl/Projects/DeVIDE Delft project includes DCMTK]

== (4) Interoperability of plugins ==
Steve: Summarize what would it take to make a standard that could handle at least the three following systems:
* [http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Slicer3:Execution_Model_Documentation Slicer Command Line Execution Model]
* [https://collab01a.scr.siemens.com/xipwiki/index.php/Main_Page XIP / DICOM WG23 Application Hosting]
* [https://collab01a.scr.siemens.com/xipwiki/index.php/Main_Page XIP-Builder / Visual Programming Interface integration]
* [http://www.nitrc.org/projects/jist/ MIPAV/JIST plugins]
*[http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/OpenIGTLink OpenIGTLink]
If we can handle those, then that's probably broad enough to cover many common scenarios.

=The Common Toolkit Workshop at SPIE, San Diego, CA =
'''Feb 14 2010'''
{|
|align="left"|
* The goals of the CommonTK are to:
** provide a unified set of basic features for use in medical imaging using '''BSD''' style licenses
** facilitate the exchange and combination of code and data
** document, integrate, and adapt successful solutions
** avoid duplication of code and data
** continuously extend to new tasks within the scope of the toolkit (medical imaging) without burdening existing tasks
Past meetings: [[Events:CTK-Workshop-June-2009|initial meeting in Heidelberg in June 2009]], [[Events:CTK-Workshop-September-2009|second meeting]] in Oxford, UK in September, [[Events:CTK-Workshop-Chicago-2009|third meeting]] in Chicago, USA in November.

CTK is a pro-tempore group of like minded technically oriented software tool builders. We expect to release a first version of CTK within a year. If you are interested to learn more, please contact Hans Peter Meinzer or Ron Kikinis.

*Venue: SPIE Medical Imaging, Town and Country Resort, San Diego
*Date: Sunday, February 14, 2010
*Room: Garden Room 2 (at Charlie's)

=Detailed Agenda=
* Toolkit interoperability
** Discuss strategies for common base. Suggested approach:
*** Today: collect a list of possible common features in two levels:
**** base features: CTK core (e.g. memory management, event mechanism, etc)
**** advanced features: optional CTK modules (e.g. DICOM, image data management, visualization, etc)
*** In future tech meetings:
**** each participant summarizes his approach regarding these features
**** identification of those features that are most similar
**** suggest a common approach
*** Plan the programming activities of the first tech meeting (hackfest)
** New common functionality:
*** DICOM: Definition of features (e.g., import/export, non-image types, workflow support, application hosting, etc)
** Discuss goals for bridges and adaptors:
*** do we want to start integrating specific platforms?
* Definition of next steps, esp. tech meetings. Suggestion:
** inventory meetings to identify most similar features
** hackfest meetings to boost prototypic implementation
* Update on funding efforts

'''Sunday, Feb 14'''
*Time: 3:20 PM – 7:20 PM
*Venue: SPIE Medical Imaging, Town and Country Resort, San Diego
*Date: Sunday, February 14, 2010
*Room: tbd

=Detailed Agenda=
* Toolkit interoperability
** Discuss strategies for common base. Suggested approach:
*** Today: collect a list of possible common features in two levels:
**** base features: CTK core (e.g. memory management, event mechanism, etc)
**** advanced features: optional CTK modules (e.g. DICOM, image data management, visualization, etc)
*** In future tech meetings:
**** each participant summarizes his approach regarding these features
**** identification of those features that are most similar
**** suggest a common approach
** New common functionality:
*** DICOM: Definition of features (e.g., import/export, non-image types, workflow support, application hosting, etc)
** Discuss goals for bridges and adaptors:
*** do we want to start integrating specific platforms?
* Definition of next steps, esp. tech meetings. Suggestion:
** inventory meetings to identify most similar features
** hackfest meetings to boost prototypic implementation
* Update on funding efforts

** TBD: other Qt progress updates
** role of Qt in the CTK core

* Other topics if time permits
**Data types
**Models for interaction

=Minutes=

=== Layer architecture ===
* describes dependencies of toolkits, not meant as inheritance
* discussion about dependencies between ITK, VTK, CTK. Unification or creating dependencies seem unrealistic. The topic is deferred since Steve is not present and he also raised the topic in email discussions.
* TY: visualization community is not represented
* TY: ITK and VTK have a lot of users, excutive decisions about unification of coordinate systems necessary
* summary: ITK, VTK and CTK will most probably coexist on the same level.
* OC: CTK is the glue, not provide processing
* TODO: question to steve and gianluca about unification.
* LT: gianluca has some concept of xml wrapped processing independent of underlying toolkits. not as inefficient as one thinks. some kind of conversion will always be necessary.
* goal of the presentation: get some concept where to put things if an idea comes up
* open questions: unification of core classes, interfacing between toolkits: XML, CTK core mechanisms

=== Package system ===
* OC: no vcs mechanism exists yet to manage complex subproject / module structures efficiently
* TY: packages can be mutually exclusive if they use special software or hardware
* summary: this remains a very important and complex task

=== general summary ===
* we agree on a layer structure, but not too deep
* LT recalls that we agreed on Qt Core for CTK core in Heidelberg
* mailing list discussion: it was proposed to use everything from ITK if it is in there.
* summary: qt license issues: LGPL fullfills most needs of CTK, some issues need to be adressed:
** Qt should always be built seperately
** static linking, template classes, distribution (see also questions page of [[media:CTKLayerStructure-2009-11-29.ppt|Ivo's slides]])
* OC: nobody wants to inherit from another toolkit forever
* SZ: advantages of Qt: scripting, meta-object / reflection system.
* OC: CTK should provide means for converting / adapting to Kitware mechanisms / classes
* IW: CTK core should provide some common basic features; glueing mechanisms should rather be part of an optional module
* summary: one CTK module, but not part of the core, provides mechanisms for common data exchange / conversion.

=== hacker meeting ===

* HPM: Steve Pieper should organize it, week beginning of 22nd February or 1st of March. 10 people for a week, 1-2 persons per team. goal: produce some lines of code (see [[media:CTKLayerStructure-2009-11-29.ppt|Ivo's slides]])
* OC raises the question of intellectual property of the written code and visibility of CTK contributors
** RK: there needs to be an institution or foundation
** summary: the topic is deferred, next step: KC will ask SA about advice, HPM and OC will care for European visibility

* HPM: suggests Heidelberg as location
* TODO: HPM writes an invitational email
* TODO: RK writes an email about the IP issue.
* OC proposes that everyone taking part writes and publishes some classes in advance as a basis for discussion
* RK sent a doodle link to the ctk mailing list as a proposal, if not enough people can attend a new date has to be chosen
* next general (short) meeting will be at SPIE

== Blueberry Presentation ==

* PL: unloading of plugins and services would be useful
* versioning of plugins is a strength but the CTK core should have stable interfaces
* slicer also has some versioning of plugins
* running application parts in different processes can solve a lot of problems
** WG 23 application hosting uses similar concepts
* OC: loose coupling is essential for CTK
* TY: support for scripting and different languages is very important

__NOTOC__

==Introduction==
This event is a hands-on workshop about the NA-MIC kit. The workshop is intended for participants from within Germany and it was sponsored by the DFG. The target audience for this workshop are scientists with an engineering background who are considering using the NA-MIC kit as their software platform for research. The NA-MIC kit consists of free open source software without restrictions on use and without a give-back requirement. The NA-MIC kit is well-suited for both academic and commercial activities.

The participants will receive an overview of the software libraries, the end-user applications, and documentation that comprise the NA-MIC kit. The curriculum is '''hands-on''' which means that participants are required to attend the workshop with a suitable laptop, preloaded with the software and sample data as specified below. Attendance is limited in order to ensure quality interactions between the faculty and participants.

Faculty and participants are expected to arrive at the venue on Sunday the 15th to allow the workshop to begin on time on Monday morning.

All participants will receive a letter of invitation from the DFG. In addition to the workshop program the letter will contain a form that needs to be filled out and sent back to the DFG in order to get '''reimbursed for travel and accommodation costs'''.

==Information on Public Transport for Local Travel==

In regard to the ticket you need for local travel: you have two options depending on the size of the traveling group. You can either go for a partner day ticket (18 €, all zones/''Gesamtnetz'') or a single day ticket (10 €, all zones/''Gesamtnetz'').

'''Coming from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_International_Airport Munich Airport]'''

When going to the subway station at the airport you can choose between any of the two subways, either '''S1''' (west route) or '''S8''' (east route) though the '''S8''' is probably beneficial in terms of journey time (approx. 35 minutes).

With both trains you should travel to the station '''Ostbahnhof'''.

At '''Ostbahnhof''' you need to change to the '''S6''' (direction '''Giesing''') and leave the train at the terminal stop '''Kreuzstraße'''.

''Coming from the Central Station''

At central station you can directly enter the '''S6''' (direction '''Karlsplatz/Stachus''' or '''Marienplatz''') and leave the train at the terminal stop '''Kreuzstraße'''. The traveling time is around 50 minutes.

''The last meters''

At '''Kreuzstraße''' you need to change into a regional express (e.g. RB30239, RB30245, RB30247, direction '''Bad Aibling''') which you will leave at the first stop in '''Westerham'''. This final train trip requires an extra ticket which costs around 2€.

==Introduction==
This is a hands-on workshop about the NA-MIC kit. The workshop is intended for participants from within Germany and it is expected to be sponsored by the DFG. The target audience for this workshop are scientists with an engineering background who are considering using the NA-MIC kit as their software platform for research. The NA-MIC kit consists of free open source software without restrictions on use and without a give-back requirement. The NA-MIC kit is well-suited for both academic and commercial activities.

The participants will receive an overview of the software libraries, the end-user applications, and documentation that comprise the NA-MIC kit. The curriculum is '''hands-on''' which means that participants are required to attend the workshop with a suitable laptop, preloaded with the software and sample data as specified below. Attendance is limited in order to ensure quality interactions between the faculty and participants.

The workshop will take place at the [http://www.ihk-muenchen.de/trz/trz/inhalte/Westerham/index.html IHK Akademie Westerham] on June the 16th and 17th, 2008 which is [http://maps.google.de/maps?f=q&hl=de&geocode=&q=ihk+akademie+westerham&sll=47.911308,11.826535&sspn=0.006357,0.013475&ie=UTF8&ei=LVXiR7XCKJGC3AKO5aXsDQ&sig2=6FMUFysSnMQylBd70Em9dw&cd=1&cid=47908296,11830927,18245121051090319374&li=lmd&z=14&t=m located] south-east of Munich. Faculty and participants are expected to arrive at the venue on Sunday the 15th to allow the workshop to begin on time on Monday morning.

All participants will receive a letter of invitation from the DFG. In addition to the workshop program the letter will contain a form that needs to be filled out and sent back to the DFG in order to get '''reimbursed for travel and accommodation costs'''.

==Information on Public Transport for Local Travel==

In regard to the ticket you need for local travel: you have two options depending on the size of the traveling group. You can either go for a partner day ticket (18 €, all zones/''Gesamtnetz'') or a single day ticket (10 €, all zones/''Gesamtnetz'').

'''Coming from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_International_Airport Munich Airport]'''

When going to the subway station at the airport you can choose between any of the two subways, either '''S1''' (west route) or '''S8''' (east route) though the '''S8''' is probably beneficial in terms of journey time (approx. 35 minutes).

With both trains you should travel to the station '''Ostbahnhof'''.

At '''Ostbahnhof''' you need to change to the '''S6''' (direction '''Giesing''') and leave the train at the terminal stop '''Kreuzstraße'''.

''Coming from the Central Station''

At central station you can directly enter the '''S6''' (direction '''Karlsplatz/Stachus''' or '''Marienplatz''') and leave the train at the terminal stop '''Kreuzstraße'''. The traveling time is around 50 minutes.

''The last meters''

At '''Kreuzstraße''' you need to change into a regional express (e.g. RB30239, RB30245, RB30247, direction '''Bad Aibling''') which you will leave at the first stop in '''Westerham'''. This final train trip requires an extra ticket which costs around 2€.

==Introduction==
This is a hands-on workshop about the NA-MIC kit. The workshop is intended for participants from within Germany and it is expected to be sponsored by the DFG. The target audience for this workshop are scientists with an engineering background who are considering using the NA-MIC kit as their software platform for research. The NA-MIC kit consists of free open source software without restrictions on use and without a give-back requirement. The NA-MIC kit is well-suited for both academic and commercial activities.

The participants will receive an overview of the software libraries, the end-user applications, and documentation that comprise the NA-MIC kit. The curriculum is '''hands-on''' which means that participants are required to attend the workshop with a suitable laptop, preloaded with the software and sample data as specified below. Attendance is limited in order to ensure quality interactions between the faculty and participants.

==Introduction==
This is a hands-on workshop about the NA-MIC kit. The workshop is intended for participants from within Germany and it is expected to be sponsored by the DFG. The target audience for this workshop are scientists with an engineering background who are considering using the NA-MIC kit as their software platform for research. The NA-MIC kit consists of free open source software without restrictions on use and without a give-back requirement. The NA-MIC kit is well-suited for both academic and commercial activities.

The participants will receive an overview of the software libraries, the end-user applications, and documentation that comprise the NA-MIC kit. The curriculum is '''hands-on''' which means that participants are required to attend the workshop with a suitable laptop, preloaded with the software and sample data as specified below. Attendance is limited in order to ensure quality interactions between the faculty and participants.
