Agenda for this meeting
Action items from the BEC meeting
Overall working group matters
Action item for committee: Testbeds need to figure out who is going to attend and their interests and then assign them to the best fit on the working groups. Action item for committee: Each working group needs to create a 3-5 page summary of past and current issues in this domain. This needs to be done well in advance of the AHM and made available to all BIRN people.
Visualization/portal
Action item for committee: Generate this BIRN-wide master list of visualization tools with short descriptions of attributes. This should be done by the people who are organizing and participating in this working group. It needs to be done well before the AHM and be made available to all. Strategy
Action item for the committee: Ask Gary Glover and Anders Dale to make a recommendation on how best to handle Image Calibration. Should it be a one or two hour session or a full working group? Action item for committee: Ask key people in Statisticss/Datamining (Hal Stern, Greg Brown and others) the same question. Action item for the committee: On Human/Mouse Integration, pull together a group that includes Art Toga, Mark Ellisman, Randy Buckner, Jim Fallon and Rob Williams for a conference call to discuss how to frame this discussion. (Joe is arranging the meeting.)
