* Core 1 - bring your algorithms and code to work on in the company of Core 2 engineers and Core 3 scientists.
+
==Summary==
* Core 2 - bring your code for infrastructure and applications to extend the NA-MIC Kit capabiliities, integrate Core 1 algorithms, and refine worflows for Core 3.

The fifth NA-MIC Project event was concluded at MIT on June 29, 2007. This was the largest hands-on project event in the three year history of NA-MIC with 41 active projects and peak attendance of 90. Of the 85 registered attendees, 35 were NA-MIC participants, 48 external collaborators, and 2 representatives from the External Advisory Board and the NIH. The external collaborators were from 13 Institutions.
* Core 3 - bring your data to work on with the NA-MIC Kit and get assistance and provide feedback to Core 1 scientists and Core 2 engineers.
 
* Everyone should '''bring a laptop'''. We will have three or four projectors.
 
* About half the time will be spent working on projects and the other half in project related discussions.

# [[Engineering:TCON_2007#2007-05-03|May 3, 2007: Kickoff TCON#1 to discuss Engineer Core Projects and Assign/Verify Teams]]
We continue to call this event "Project Week" or "Project Half Week", depending on how its duration, rather than by its original name of "Programming Week".  Along with programming, a fair amount of algorithm design, and clinical application brainstorming also takes places and the name change reflects the broader scope of the event. What does this means for participants: if you are participating in a NA-MIC project or collaboration by providing algorithmic or clinical input, you are very welcome to attend. As always, participation is entirely voluntary.
 
 
 
=== Goals ===
 
 
 
The main goal of this week is to move forward the deliverables of NA-MIC. All NA-MIC participants and their collaborators are welcome.
 
 
 
* Members of all cores are welcome. This event involves programming, algorithm design, and clinical application development/testing.
 
* Participation in this event is voluntary -- if you don't think this will help you move forward in your work, there is no obligation to attend.
 
* Ideal candidates are those who want to contribute to the NA-MIC Kit, and those who can help make it happen.
 
* This is not an introduction to the components of the NA-MIC Kit.
 
* Submit any projects that you would like to work on during this week, and what type of help you might need for it.

## Gather test images in any of the Data sharing resources we have (e.g. the BIRN). These ones don't have to be many. At least three different cases, so we can get an idea of the modality-specific characteristics of these images. Put the IDs of these data sets on the wiki page. (the participants must do this.)

Summary

The fifth NA-MIC Project event was concluded at MIT on June 29, 2007. This was the largest hands-on project event in the three year history of NA-MIC with 41 active projects and peak attendance of 90. Of the 85 registered attendees, 35 were NA-MIC participants, 48 external collaborators, and 2 representatives from the External Advisory Board and the NIH. The external collaborators were from 13 Institutions.

Statistics at a glance:

  • 85 Registered Attendees: 35 NA-MIC participants, 48 collaborators, 2 EAB+NIH
    • 35 NA-MIC Participants breakdown by cores: Core 1 (7), Core 2 (14), Core 3 (10), Core 4-5-6-7 (4)
    • 46 Collaborators: Acoustic Med (2), BWH (19), Caltech (2), GE (1), Harvard IIC (1), JHU (1), Kitware (1), Knowledge Vis (1), Mario Negri (1), MGH (2), NWU (4), University of Iowa(12), Virginia Tech (1)
  • 41 Projects: DBP-II(6), Structural Analysis (2), Diffusion Image Analysis (7), NA-MIC Kit (14), External Collaborations (12)

A summary of all past NA-MIC Project Events is available here.

Logistics

Registration Fee: $200 (this will cover the cost of breakfast, lunch, and coffee breaks for the week). Due by Tuesday, June 19, 2007. Please make checks out to "Massachusetts Institute of Technology" and mail to: Donna Kaufman, MIT, 77 Massachusetts Ave., 38-409b, Cambridge, MA 02139

If you are attending for one day only, the registration fee is not required.

Hotel: We have a group rate of $209/night at the Hotel at MIT. (Use group code NAM.) Here is some information about several other Boston area hotels that are convenient to NA-MIC events: Boston_Hotels. Summer is tourist season in Boston, so please book your rooms early.

(This is a checklist for the onsite planning items)

Introduction to NA-MIC Project Week

NA-MIC Project Week is a hands on activity -- programming using the NA-MIC Kit, algorithm design, and clinical application -- that has become one of the major events in the NA-MIC Kit calendar. It is held in the summer at MIT (typically the last week of June), and a shorter version is held in Salt Lake City in the winter (typically the second week of January). The main goal of these events if to move forward the deliverables of NA-MIC. NA-MIC participants and their collaborators are welcome to attend.

  • NA-MIC Members: Participation in this event is voluntary -- if you don't think this will help you move forward in your work, there is no obligation to attend.
  • Ideal candidates are those who want to contribute to the NA-MIC Kit, and those who can help make it happen.
  • This is not an introduction to the components of the NA-MIC Kit.
  • NA-MIC Core 1 (Algorithms) - bring your algorithms and code to work on in the company of Core 2 engineers and Core 3 scientists.
  • NA-MIC Core 2 (Engineering) - bring your code for infrastructure and applications to extend the NA-MIC Kit capabilities, integrate Core 1 algorithms, and refine workflows for Core 3.
  • NA-MIC Core 3 (DBP) - bring your data to work on with the NA-MIC Kit and get assistance and provide feedback to Core 1 scientists and Core 2 engineers.
  • External Collaborators - if you are working on a project that uses the NA-MIC kit, and want to participate to get help from NA-MIC Engineering, please send an email to Tina Kapur (tkapur at bwh.harvard.edu). Please note that the event is open to people outside NA-MIC, subject to availability.
  • Everyone should bring a laptop. We will have four projectors.
  • About half the time will be spent working on projects and the other half in project related discussions.
  • You do need to be actively working on a NA-MIC related project in order to make this investment worthwhile for everyone.

Agenda

Preparation

  1. Please make sure that you are on the NA-MIC Project Week mailing list.
  2. May 3, 2007: Kickoff TCON#1 to discuss Engineer Core Projects and Assign/Verify Teams
  3. May 10, 2007: TCON#2 to discuss Projects and Assign/Verify Teams
  4. May 17, 2007: TCON#3 to discuss outstanding projects and teams from previous week
  5. May 17, 2007: Create a Wiki page per project (the participants must do this, hopefully jointly)
  6. May 31, 2007: Create a directory for each project on the NAMIC Sandbox (Andy)
    1. Commit on each sandbox directory the code examples/snippets that represent our first guesses of appropriate methods. (Luis and Steve will help with this, as needed)
    2. Gather test images in any of the Data sharing resources we have (e.g. the BIRN). These ones don't have to be many. At least three different cases, so we can get an idea of the modality-specific characteristics of these images. Put the IDs of these data sets on the wiki page. (the participants must do this.)
    3. Setup nightly tests on a separate Dashboard, where we will run the methods that we are experimenting with. The test should post result images and computation time. (Andy)
  7. By 3pm ET on June 21, 2007: Complete a templated wiki page for your project. Please do not edit the template page itself, but create a new page for your project and cut-and-paste the text from this template page. If you have questions, please send an email to tkapur at bwh.harvard.edu.
  8. June 21, 2007: TCON#4 Final Call before showtime...
  9. Please note that by the time we get to the project event, we should be trying to close off a project milestone rather than starting to work on one...
