==Introduction to the FIRST JOINT PROJECT WEEK==
 
 
 
We are pleased to announce the FIRST JOINT PROJECT WEEK of hands-on research and development activity for Image-Guided Therapy and Neuroscience applications. Participants will engage in open source programming using the [[NA-MIC-Kit|NA-MIC Kit]], algorithm design, medical imaging sequence development, tracking experiments, and clinical application. The main goal of this event is to move forward the translational research deliverables of the sponsoring centers and their collaborators. Active and potential collaborators are encouraged and welcome to attend this event. This event will be set up to maximize informal interaction between participants.
 
  
Active preparation begins on Thursday, April 16th at 3pm ET, with a kick-off teleconference.  Invitations to this call will be sent to members of the sponsoring communities, their collaborators, past attendees of the event, as well as any parties who have expressed an interest in working with these centers. The main goal of the kick-off call is to get an idea of which groups/projects will be active at the upcoming event, and to ensure that there is sufficient coverage for all. Subsequent teleconferences will allow for more focused discussions on individual projects and allow the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in breakout sessions. In the final days leading upto the meeting, all project teams will be asked to fill in a template page on this wiki that describes the objectives and plan of their projects.
+
A [[Project_Events#Past_Project_Weeks|summary]] of all past Project Events.
  
The event itself will start off with a short presentation by each project team, driven using their previously created description, and will help all participants get acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, about half the time will be spent in breakout discussions on topics of common interest of subsets of the attendees, and the other half will be spent in project teams, doing hands-on project work. The hands-on activities will be done in 30-50 small teams of size 2-4, each with a mix of multi-disciplinary expertise. To facilitate this work, a large room at MIT will be setup with several tables, with internet and power access, and each computer software development based team will gather on a table with their individual laptops, connect to the internet to download their software and data, and be able to work on their projects. Teams working on projects that require the use of medical devices will proceed to Brigham and Women's Hospital and carry out their experiments there. On the last day of the event, a closing presentation session will be held in which each project team will present a summary of what they accomplished during the week.

==Background==
 +
 
 +
From June 22 through 26, 2009, NA-MIC hosted its FIRST JOINT PROJECT WEEK for hands-on research and development activity in Image-Guided Therapy and Neuroscience applications. The meeting was held at MIT (Cambridge) and at the Brigham and Women's Hospital (Boston). Participants engaged in open source programming using the [[NA-MIC-Kit|NA-MIC Kit]], algorithms, medical imaging sequence development, tracking experiments, and clinical applications. The main goal of this event was to further the translational research deliverables of the sponsoring centers and their collaborators by identifying and solving programming problems during planned and ad hoc break-out sessions. Active and potential collaborators alike were encouraged to attend, and participants haled from 31 academic centers and 9 companies. The latest in a series of successful Project Events designed to maximize informal interaction between participants, this event was distinguished by the joint participation of several collaborating centers. As such, it was part of the ongoing translational research efforts of [http://www.na-mic.org NA-MIC], [http://www.ncigt.org NCIGT], [http://nac.spl.harvard.edu/NAC], [http://catalyst.harvard.edu/home.html Harvard Catalyst], and [http://www.cimit.org CIMIT]. It represents an expansion of the NA-MIC Summer Project Week that has been held annually since 2005, and will continue to be held every Summer at MIT and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, typically during the last full week of June, and every Winter in Salt Lake City, Utah, typically during the second week of January.
 +
 
 +
Active preparation for this conference began with a kick-off teleconference. Invitations to this call were sent to members of the sponsoring communities, their collaborators, past attendees of the event, as well as any parties expressing an interest in working with these centers. The main goal of the initial teleconference was to gather information about which groups/projects would be active at the upcoming event to ensure that there were sufficient resources available to meet everyone's needs. Focused discussions about individual projects were conducted during several subsequent teleconferences and permitted the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in break-out sessions. In the final days leading up to the meeting, all project teams were asked to complete a template page on the wiki describing the objectives and research plan for each project.  All told, there were 135 registrants and 62 individual projects. 
 +
 
 +
On the first day of the conference, each project team leader delivered a short presentation to introduce their topic and individual members of their team. These brief presentations served to both familiarize other teams doing similar work about common problems or practical solutions, and to identify potential subsets of individuals who might benefit from collaborative work.  For the remainder of the conference, about 50% time was devoted to break-out discussions on topics of common interest to particular subsets and 50% to hands-on project work.  For hands-on project work, attendees were organized into 30-50 small teams comprised of 2-4 individuals with a mix of multi-disciplinary expertise.  To facilitate this work, a large room at MIT was setup with ample work tables, internet connection, and power access. This enabled each computer software development-based team to gather on a table with their individual laptops, connect to the internet, download their software and data, and work on specific projects.  Projects that required the use of medical devices were hosted at the Brigham and Women's Hospital. On the final day of the event, each project team summarized their accomplishments in a closing presentation.

Background

From June 22 through 26, 2009, NA-MIC hosted its FIRST JOINT PROJECT WEEK for hands-on research and development activity in Image-Guided Therapy and Neuroscience applications. The meeting was held at MIT (Cambridge) and at the Brigham and Women's Hospital (Boston). Participants engaged in open source programming using the NA-MIC Kit, algorithms, medical imaging sequence development, tracking experiments, and clinical applications. The main goal of this event was to further the translational research deliverables of the sponsoring centers and their collaborators by identifying and solving programming problems during planned and ad hoc break-out sessions. Active and potential collaborators alike were encouraged to attend, and participants haled from 31 academic centers and 9 companies. The latest in a series of successful Project Events designed to maximize informal interaction between participants, this event was distinguished by the joint participation of several collaborating centers. As such, it was part of the ongoing translational research efforts of NA-MIC, NCIGT, [1], Harvard Catalyst, and CIMIT. It represents an expansion of the NA-MIC Summer Project Week that has been held annually since 2005, and will continue to be held every Summer at MIT and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, typically during the last full week of June, and every Winter in Salt Lake City, Utah, typically during the second week of January.

Active preparation for this conference began with a kick-off teleconference. Invitations to this call were sent to members of the sponsoring communities, their collaborators, past attendees of the event, as well as any parties expressing an interest in working with these centers. The main goal of the initial teleconference was to gather information about which groups/projects would be active at the upcoming event to ensure that there were sufficient resources available to meet everyone's needs. Focused discussions about individual projects were conducted during several subsequent teleconferences and permitted the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in break-out sessions.

These brief presentations served to both familiarize other teams doing similar work about common problems or practical solutions, and to identify potential subsets of individuals who might benefit from collaborative work. For the remainder of the conference, about 50% time was devoted to break-out discussions on topics of common interest to particular subsets and 50% to hands-on project work. For hands-on project work, attendees were organized into 30-50 small teams comprised of 2-4 individuals with a mix of multi-disciplinary expertise. To facilitate this work, a large room at MIT was setup with ample work tables, internet connection, and power access. This enabled each computer software development-based team to gather on a table with their individual laptops, connect to the internet, download their software and data, and work on specific projects.

Preparation

  1. Please make sure that you are on the http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week mailing list
  2. Join the kickoff TCON on April 16, 3pm ET.
  3. June 18 TCON at 3pm ET to tie loose ends. Anyone with un-addressed questions should call.
  4. By 3pm ET on June 11, 2009: 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.
  5. By 3pm on June 18, 2009: Create a directory for each project on the NAMIC Sandbox (Zack)
    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. (Zack)
  6. 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...
  7. People doing Slicer related projects should come to project week with slicer built on your laptop.
    1. Projects to develop extension modules should work with the Slicer-3-4 branch (new code should not be checked into the branch).
    2. Projects to modify core behavior of slicer should be done on the trunk.
