Dear all
A reminder to (tell your RAs/friends to) register for the meeting tomorrow if you plan to attend and haven’t registered yet. Please check http://www.ccppetmr.ac.uk/softdev070715.html
For those that will attend, I'd like you to
-
have a look at the slides on the project overview from the Working Group meeting if you didn’t attend that. I will only very briefly summarise those tomorrow.
http://www.ccppetmr.ac.uk/wg_docs/wg130515/petmr_overview.pdf
-
think about "use cases", i.e. what would you like this framework to do for you (in specific terms, not too general)

Subject: RE: CCP on PET-MR: software framework meeting 7th of July and other updates
Dear Edwin, dear all
Indeed, this software meeting is at short notice and I do apologise for that. The delay is entirely my fault. The Exec Committee decided that nevertheless it was best to get some discussion
going before the summer. We will continue this later in the year. There will be WebEx for remote attendance of this meeting.
Please note that this meeting is mostly intended for people who will use and develop the software and have an interest in creating a good design for the framework. Full announcement
below (this will also be put on our website).
We’d like to invite you to the first software meeting of the Collaborative Computational Project (CCP) in Synergistic PET-MR Reconstruction (http://www.ccppetmr.ac.uk/). The
CCP aims to create a standardised and freely available software platform as an enabling infrastructure for working with PET and MR data, with a particular emphasis on reconstruction from both PET and MR data, either separately or jointly.
The platform will build on existing Open Source packages (initially STIR (http://stir.sourceforge.net)
for PET and the Gadgetron (http://gadgetron.github.io/)
for MR). We aim to create an interface from MATLAB (and later Python) to maximise usability and take-up by the community. More information can be found in the presentations of our Working Group meeting, available at http://www.ccppetmr.ac.uk/wg130515.html.
The aims of the first software meeting are to;
·
determine short and long term goals for the CCP-PET-MR software framework (including desired applications)
·
provide an overview of STIR and the Gadgetron as examples of current packages
·
discuss appropriate software design
·
decide on the interface for initial use cases
·
create contact with the UK and wider user and developer base
Participants are encouraged to come with their own plans and/or to send them before the meeting to [log in to unmask].
Attendance in person is recommended, but
we have a hard limit of 16 people in the room. In addition, remote attendance via WebEx will be possible. Travel costs for UK attendants will be reimbursed.
Date and time: Tuesday 7th of July, 13:30 - 17:30. Sandwich lunch will be provided from 12:45.
Location: 16 Taviton Street, London, WC1H 0BW, room 346.

WebEx details will be sent by email after you’ve registered.
