Nov 5-6, Chapel Hill, NC

Introduction

The NA-MIC algorithm core holds an annual retreat
The 2010 event will begin on 8:30 am on Friday the 5th of Nov and finish at approximately 2pm on Saturday the 6th.

Plans, Needs, Expectations of and Interactions with DBPs (Core-1 contacts, all)
- Actions items for the AHM
- Plans for the next 12 months
Segmentation
Registration
- Upcoming event: New Directions in Registration Workshop
Other algorithm classes
- Shape
- Interactive algorithms
Interaction with the Engineering Core
- See whitepaper about the interactions between Cores 1a, 1b, and 2.
Slicer
- Ron will give an update on Slicer 3.6.2 and Slicer 4, extensions
  - Extensions:

If your algorithm can be delivered as a CLI, then develop and deploy it now as an extension for 3.6 and the nightly builds. This will transition smoothly to slicer4.
If your algorithm requires interactivity then
1. If you want to deploy it within the next 6 months, then consider a python or tcl scripted wizard interface to CLI code, knowing that there will be some porting required.
2. if a wizard isn't interactive enough, consider a custom kwwidgets interface, knowing that this will be difficult to port to slicer4
if your deployment target is 6 or more months out, you should begin working with the slicer4 Qt developer build starting in January.

- - Most of our DBP projects fall under rule 3.
- Ron will give a demo of Changetracker, GrowCutSegment, Fastmarching.
- Allen and Yi Gao will demo RSS

Nice for walking to campus & Franklin Street, but rather expensive (ask for the University/Computer Science rate of 159 USD per night):

Best suggestions (need taxi or rental car to campus & Franklin Street):
