'''Progress:''' We have analyzed and validated 11 major tracts in one dataset (Susumu Mori's; 5 subjects) and using one tractography tool (DTI Studio). These were analyzed in several different labs and the quantitative (kappa values) validation was successful and a manuscript is presently in near-final form. We are now analyzing two different datasets (Susumu Mori, Dartmouth) using two tractography tools (DTI Studio, Slicer), quantitative and qualitative comparisons, and two investigators in Fallon's lab.

Objective:

To enable cross-platform packaging and distribution of software.

Progress:

Packaging and distributing software across multiple computer platforms (hardware, operating system and compiler) has been a difficult, error prone and time consuming process. CPack is an adjunct component of CMake that addresses this issue. It uses the concept of generators from CMake, where a generator abstracts the platform specific packaging issues. CPack is a new software tool whose development was initiated in the second year of NA-MIC funding. Initial results includes support for Mac OSX using PackageMaker, Windows using Nullsoft Scriptable Installer System (NSIS), and Unix using self extracting TAR file. Future work includes support for more generators, such as Red Hat RPM, Debian DEB, and Microsoft MSI.
