Dana, 17 Nov:

Just want to put down a couple notes informally on software requirements based on the talk Jeroen and I had with David Tuch a couple weeks ago: when we asked David about interaction at the level of software (as distinct from the technical side of the simulation project he, Ross, Jeroen, et al are interested in), he immediately brought up the following two items of interest:

1. Building a pipleline across multiple different heterogeneous software packages. They currently have many working algorithms of their own but they are all separate. He specifically said he is happy with their existing visualization. But he emphasized that they could use tools that would allow them to build a pipeline between their existing code, any we might provide, and others.

2. Running analyses on many datasets --- i.e his need is to define a processing pipeline ---eg. take in MR measurements, compute DW MR's on them, do tractography, compute error or comparison measures ---- and then say "go do this processing on some large number of existing data sets and show me the results"

One note, he also mentioned that he is part of NAMIC and that these items are under discussion there as well ....
