Objective
To create a standard infrastructure for Slicer3 to support sequential module chaining functionality. This functionality includes features such as allowing the user to describe an ordered set of modules to execute one after another, which outputs to pipe as inputs of future module invocations and how to render the Slicer3 UI to gather the required parameters of the "chain". All of this done leveraging on the standard execution module to require minimal user input.
Approach, Plan
The first prototype has been developed as an independent engine system in Java. This will serve to provide a "proof of concept" type of grounds to evaluate and refine current and new ideas, in order to create a standard, full-feature version of this engine embedded into Slicer3.
Progress
We successfully integrated the chain module engine into Slicer3 and test run it with 2 custom chain descriptors (created according to specifications). These descriptors were successfully used by the integrated engine to behave as a true Slicer3 module (tested within the UI): auto-generating the desired "Standard Execution Model" descriptor when invoked with the "--xml" reactor and, when invoked without it, executing in sequence the referred modules, with the appropriate argument chaining, as expected. All details of this effort are being documented at: Slicer3:JavaBasedChainCLMsEngine
