== Introduction ==

'''Date:''' May 5-9, 2014

'''Location:'''

ERL conference room, [http://www.wustl.edu/ Washington University Saint Louis], [http://erl.wustl.edu/aboutus/location.html Electronic Radiology Laboratory], 4525 Scott Avenue, 3rd floor, room 3347.

[http://erl.wustl.edu/aboutus/location.html How to get here.]

'''Goal:''' A follow on to the [[Commontk:Current_events#Past_events|wildly successful previous hackfests!]]

'''Requirements:''' Attendees must be willing to spend their time during the event writing ctk code that contributes to the main [[CTK-Roadmap | ctk roadmap]]. This means spending the week immersed in C++, Qt, DCMTK, CMake, and related technologies. People who do not feel qualified for this task are politely not invited :)

'''Group size:''' Maximum 20 participants so we can have a manageable working meeting. The organizing committee will invite and select participants based on input from [[TheTeam]].

'''Site Hosts:''' Lawrence Tarbox and Dan Marcus

'''Organizing Committee:''' Steve Pieper, Ivo Wolf, Stephen Aylward

'''Future Events:''' Future hackfests will be announced in advance, and we hope lots of people will be interested in participating. The venue and activities at future hackfests will be determined based on the number of active participants in the project. We welcome participation via the CTK email lists, the source code repository, and this website.

== Travel & Hotel ==

===Local contacts===

* Lawrence Tarbox (tarboxl@mir.wustl.edu)
* Dan Marcus (dmarcus@wustl.edu)

===Transportation===

The facility is easy to get to from the airport via the Metrorail light rail system, with stations at the airport terminals and just around the corner from our building. We do not recommend renting a car due to parking headaches, but if one chooses to rent a car, there are parking garages available that are not terribly expensive (e.g. $6 - $8 per day, no in and out).

===Lodging===

Within walking distance is the Parkway Hotel (83% thumbs up and ranked #23 out of 123 hotels in St. Louis on tripadvisor.com). If we were to reserve a room block, the Parkway would be very convenient. The Parkway is affiliated with the medical campus, and one can use enclosed skyways to walk to our building (though the routing is a bit confusing). There are other good hotels in the area. Fred Prior likes the Chase Park Plaza, even though it is more expensive than the Parkway, and a several blocks longer walk. A nearby Drury Inn said that they would provide a shuttle if enough people stayed there. And of course there are several downtown hotels that are only a few Metrorail stops away.

===Weather===

[http://www.weather.com/weather/wxclimatology/monthly/graph/USMO0787 Average weather in St. Louis]

===Food===

Plan on having breakfast at your hotel before the meeting. Please email the organizers if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions.

Being a university and hospital campus, there are several lunch possibilities, including several cafeterias and a daily show of high end food trucks just outside our door. And both the nearby Grove and Central West neighborhoods have several restaurant choices for any meal and at multiple budget levels. Naturally, we could also have pizza or Chinese food or sandwiches or whatever brought in if participants are interested, and don’t want to be bothered with going out.

===Optional Activities in the Area===
Fred did offer to host an outing to his country club (Meadowbrook), if there is interest. The pool would not be open until Memorial Day (May 26th), but golf, tennis, and of course excellent food would be available. While a country club outing would not be inexpensive, it would be less expensive than many other similar, high quality outings. Other outing options could include a Cardinals game, if they are in town, or any of the museums and gardens in the area.

== Travel & Hotel ==

===Local contacts===

* Lawrence Tarbox (tarboxl@mir.wustl.edu)
* Dan Marcus (dmarcus@wustl.edu)

===Transportation===

The facility is easy to get to from the airport via the Metrorail light rail system, with stations at the airport terminals and just around the corner from our building. We do not recommend renting a car due to parking headaches, but if one chooses to rent a car, there are parking garages available that are not terribly expensive (e.g. $6 - $8 per day, no in and out).

===Lodging===

Within walking distance is the Parkway Hotel (83% thumbs up and ranked #23 out of 123 hotels in St. Louis on tripadvisor.com). If we were to reserve a room block, the Parkway would be very convenient. The Parkway is affiliated with the medical campus, and one can use enclosed skyways to walk to our building (though the routing is a bit confusing). There are other good hotels in the area. Fred Prior likes the Chase Park Plaza, even though it is more expensive than the Parkway, and a several blocks longer walk. A nearby Drury Inn said that they would provide a shuttle if enough people stayed there. And of course there are several downtown hotels that are only a few Metrorail stops away.

===Weather===

[http://www.weather.com/weather/wxclimatology/monthly/graph/USMO0787 Average weather in St. Louis]

===Food===

Plan on having breakfast at your hotel before the meeting. Please email the organizers if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions.

Being a university and hospital campus, there are several lunch possibilities, including several cafeterias and a daily show of high end food trucks just outside our door. And both the nearby Grove and Central West neighborhoods have several restaurant choices for any meal and at multiple budget levels. Naturally, we could also have pizza or Chinese food or sandwiches or whatever brought in if participants are interested, and don’t want to be bothered with going out.

===Optional Activities in the Area===
Fred did offer to host an outing to his country club (Meadowbrook), if there is interest. The pool would not be open until Memorial Day (May 26th), but golf, tennis, and of course excellent food would be available. While a country club outing would not be inexpensive, it would be less expensive than many other similar, high quality outings. Other outing options could include a Cardinals game, if they are in town, or any of the museums and gardens in the area.

DICOM Application Hosting Testing

2013-11-08T12:02:57Z

Wolf: Distinguish SOAP API testing from integration testing

== SOAP API Testing ==
This sections on SOAP API Testing summarizes experiences gathered at the [[CTK-Hackfest-Nov-2011|hackfest in Sophia Antipolis]] in November 2011.

=== High - level test suites ===

That's what I can see so far:

* WSDL compliance: Test if the host and app accept the official method signatures
* Functional testing: Test the "logic" of the host and app (proper state transitions, correct notification messages, etc.)

=== Possible solutions ===

* Use [http://www.soapui.org/ SoapUI] and its command line support to integrate it with ctest.
** Automatically generate tests for WSDL compliance using the official WSDL file
** Create manual functional tests within the SoapUI GUI and put the project file in the CTK git repository

==== SoapUI ====

'''Requires'''

* Either host the SoapUI executable somewhere or look for it if testing is enabled
* Java Runtime on the test system
* Some CMake magic

'''Pros'''

* Rely on proven Java libraries to generate the RPC stuff and mock classes for server and client code from the WSDL file.
* No C++ involved, create test cases in the GUI
* No programming knowledge required to add or modify tests

==== SoapUI Experiences ====

Just some pieces of information we (Michael C.) gathered during the Sophia-Antipolis Hackfest

* The soapUI project files are located under the dah-testing-soapui branch. I have put two xml files there: HostService-SoapUI.xml and Application-SoapUI.xml under Plugins\org.commontk.dah.core\Resources that correspond to the SoapUI projects and that needs to be imported in SoapUI.
* I have changed the enpoint that we use normally in the examples. (This is under the tab Service Enpoints when you double click on your project). I have tried for example to send a cancel request to the HostedApp plugin by simulating some requests from the hosting system. I received a notification that a message was received on the HostedApp but i didn't get the answer of my request: I am probably missing something in the way I set the endpoints...
* I recommend to use the trial version of SoapUI if you are willing to do some tests. The editing of your soap message is much simpler in the pro version.

== Integration Testing ==
In contrast to a conventional Web services architecture, DICOM Application Hosting uses Web services for bidirectional communication between the hosting system and the hosted applications. This limits the use of general SOAP testing suites to relatively simple SOAP message conformance tests. For example, testing the method "notifiyStateChanged" of the host interface requires that "setState" of the application interface has been called before - thus, the test has to be a service provider itself, which is not supported by general high level SOAP testing suites (please correct and add links, if you know testing solutions that allowing this).

==== Roadmap development ====
*Develop a [[CTK-Roadmap|roadmap for the CTK core]]. It is advised to begin pondering on this in the weeks leading to the hack-fest in order to dedicate as much time as possible to the real hacking during the week. The [[CTK-Roadmap|roadmap for the CTK core]] is a good place to start your thinking. It has been written by Ivo and Marco at the start of the CTK initiative.

== Travel & Hotel ==

'''Local contact'''
* If you have any troubles during your visit, call Benoit : +33 4 92 38 71 55 (or if not available, +33 6 32 78 59 92, but it's my mobile)

'''Airport'''
* Nice Airport: http://en.nice.aeroport.fr/

'''Transportation on Site'''
The taxi is awfully expensive, count around 50 € to go from Nice Airport to Antibes.

The bus from Antibes to INRIA is the Express 100. It starts "Place De Gaulle", the closest stop to INRIA is "Templiers", costs 1€.
From there it will only take you 3 minutes to reach INRIA: [http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Route+des+Coll%C3%A9s%2FD504&daddr=43.61662,7.07352+to:Unknown+road&hl=en&ie=UTF8&sll=43.61678,7.07076&sspn=0.005328,0.011362&geocode=FdyLmQIdpO9rAA%3BFWyJmQId8O5rACln8B9JIivMEjE0Ny-_kgRFgQ%3BFZaHmQIdrNhrAA&vpsrc=0&dirflg=w&mra=dme&mrsp=2&sz=17&via=1&t=h&z=17 map from Les Templiers]

'''Lodging'''
Prefer Antibes to any other locations, Sophia-Antipolis is very badly connected to places to sustain you at night, and the buses stop after 20:00/20:30

*Rooms have been blocked for 11 people in the hotel l'Etoile:

http://www.hoteletoile.com/

phone number: +33 4 93 34 26 30 ‎

address: 2 Avenue Gambetta, 06600 Antibes, France

(54€ per night for a single room, 6.50€ for breakfast)
Also here is a map with the hotel, and the departure of the bus line 100: [[file:hotel_etoile.pdf]]
There are other addresses you might find attractive, but I have made no agreement with them:

*Hôtel Relais du Postillon (not far from the other, good reputation among the visitors of INRIA)

8 Rue Championnet, 06600 Antibes, France

http://www.relaisdupostillon.com/

+33 4 93 34 20 77 ‎

For the other hotels, Apparently you should avoid "Le Collier". Then I have no reports on how the other hotels in Antibes compares. But if you can't find a room in the above hotels, try others near the rail station or within the old town. This way you will get an easy access to the bus (the Express 100).

'''Meeting Location'''
* Inria Sophia Antipolis:
2004 route des Lucioles BP 93
06902 SOPHIA ANTIPOLIS Cedex - FRANCE

'''Catering'''

Good news, lunches will be covered for everyone as well as coffee breaks morning and afternoon, courtesy of Inria!

'''Weather'''
* Average min/max temperature in November in Sophia Antipolis:15-20 Celsius

CTK-Roadmap

2011-09-27T08:00:44Z

Wolf: added link to CTK Integration Levels Overview

This page contains the roadmap for the core CTK effort. It is intended as a guideline for participants to decide whether their intended contributions fit into the CTK core. Beginning in 2012, CTK events are open to all who are willing to comply with the following two conditions:

-Participate for the entire event (no one-day stands)
-Intent to write code for the CTK core roadmap (code writers only).

=2011=
*This roadmap was developed during the [[CTK-Hackfest-Nov-2011|Sophia Antipolis 2011 Hackfest]]
*It is based on an earlier version which can be found [[Documentation/Whitepaper|here]] and ideas for an overview which can be found [[CTK_Integration_Levels_Overview|here]].

CTK Integration Levels Overview

2011-09-27T07:33:50Z

Wolf: add some more explanations

CTK ''supports'' the ''common use'' of medical imaging software developments on
''different levels'' (not all of these levels are available yet).
This ranges from loosely coupled applications (level 1: basically data exchange) to more and more tight integration (level 2: parameter exchange; level 3: exchange of events; level 4: exchange of services; level 5: complete integration).

'''Future Events:''' The organizing committee invited a group of developers to get the CTK project started and we've believe we've reached capacity for this event. Future hackfests will be announced in advance and we hope lots of people will be interested in participating. The venue and activities at future hackfests will be determined based on the number of active participants in the project.

== Preparation ==

Developers should bring a laptop with the [http://github.com/commontk/CTK current CTK source code] downloaded and [[Build_Instructions|built]].

Use the [http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ctk-developers CTK developers mailing list] to discuss build issues and topics for ongoing work.

'''We plan to hold weekly phone conferences during the month leading up to the actual hackfest. Be prepared to discuss projects so we can make the most effective use of the face-to-face hackfest time.'''

== Preliminary Agenda ==
Nominally 9am to 5pm each day Monday through Friday. Monday will start with a review of the topics. Anyone who has prepared material they would like to present can suggest a time slot so a detailed agenda for the rest of the week can be prepared. Unless otherwise allocated, it is expected that the time will be spent hacking, with ad hoc discussions and debugging sessions as needed.

*''Monday''
** 9am - welcome
** Everyone should say a few words of what they want to accomplish during the week. Also state if you would like to present on a topic and lead a discussion so these can be added to the agenda.
** Review of git methodologies (Jc, Benoit, Sascha and all)
** Options for C++ DICOM Application Hosting implementation in CTK (Sascha and other)
** Questions for packaging CTK in debian: 1) what to enable as 'standard ctk' 2) package name: commontk or ctk? 3) build against VTK trunk or release version? Same question for DCMTK, Qt, etc...
** Demos/Presentation: CreatTools, DTK/MedInria, MAF Scripts
*''Tuesday''
*''Wednesday''
** afternoon status update from everyone, review to-do items for the rest of the week.
*''Thursday''
*''Friday''
** afternoon summary of progress and discussion of ongoing work, future {talk,hack}fests...

== Topics and Projects ==

Pick up threads of discussion and activity from [http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Events:CTK-Hackfest-2010 Pre-Hackfest] and [[CTK-Hackfest-May-2010|May 2010 Hackfest]]

General set of topics (attendees, please flesh this out with your own ideas!)

=== Schedule Talkfest ===
* Pick a time and place for a talkfest in the US (perhaps at Washington University in St. Louis).

=== Review driving application ===
* First: Define the purpose of CTK:
** Candidate: CTK is meant to span the boundaries of current toolkits and applications. Specifically, its parts are intended to be easily integrated into current software systems and help them address software engineering challenges that impede their clinical use. We are currently focusing simplifying the challenging tasks of (1) integrating DICOM Q&R functionality into applications (i.e., thereby enabling the integration of applications into the data workflow of a clinical environment) and (2) providing clean and effective user interfaces that are appropriate for use in a clinical environment (e.g., intuitive user-interface widgets for window and level selection). Future challenges to be addressed include methods for software testing, event handling, and more.
* Second: Define the driving application to be bundled with CTK (that demonstrates the utility of CTK).
** "cool" application for users = "WOW!" application for computer scientist
** Candidate: The WOW! application could be achieved by working towards three goals:
*** Goal1: Provide Qt widgets for browsing data on a PACS and downloading (Q&R) select images to local disk.
**** Should support batch download based on selected slices, series, studies, and patients.
**** Would be nice to save in another format such as NIFTI, but that is a nice-to-have.
**** Query/browse Qt widget would show results as a tree (patient, study, series, images) with optional keys (sex, etc), when available
**** Provide progress reporting of transfers
**** This would be HUGE for the community. Imagine having a small set of Qt/DCMTK widgets that combined together form a Q&R workstation. This is a great place to start sharing.
*** Goal2: slice-based view of downloaded data (data on disk)
**** Qt image viewer with intensity window/level and not much more. This is meant to be minimalistic.
*** Goal3: initiate processing on data (server-based data or downloaded data) using the dicom plug-in standard
**** This is where we can really help the community. Provide a C++ reference implementation, and some Qt widgets that help initiate calls to available services.

=== Organization and Workflow ===

* First day will be dedicated to code organization and policies for git-based workflow.
** expected result will be a set of procedures for dissemination to the ctk community for comment and adoption.

=== DICOM ===
* Review of ITKv4 DICOM Plans and discussion of DCMTK and GDCM.

=== Widgets ===
* Review status of Qt-based CTK widget developments
** Slicer4, DTK, GoFigure (others?)

=== Plugins, Modules ===
(utilities for discovering and invoking code blocks)
* Use case demonstrating the benefits of the plugin framework (Slicer Command Line Plugins?)
* Integration of Qt SOAP (?) http://qt.nokia.com/products/appdev/add-on-products/catalog/4/Utilities/qtsoap/ for DICOM application hosting

Old:
* Plugins: not-application dependent (like a java plugin that runs in firefox or internet explorer or in our case something like a registration routine that gets invoked from a host application)
* Modules: rely on some of the API of the host application (like a loadable module that creates a custom GUI using a Qt API so it may work in more than one Qt-based application)

=== Interoperability ===
(gluing toolkits together)
* VTK/OpenInventor shared OpenGL rendering context

=== Events and Communications ===
(run-time messaging within and among applications)
* ZMQ
* OpenIGTLink
* Event Bus (MAF, Patrick's ZMQ)

=== Integration ===
(using CTK code in different applications)
* Change the private implementation macros to behave like Qt (derivable pimples)
* Improve unit testing macros (interactive mode, property check...)

== Progress Reports and Updates ==

=== Wednesday ===

* DICOM Application Hosting:
** architecture of client/server web services is coming together - examples are coming soon.
** mods to CTK build system so only need libraries and includes are only included if needed (avoid compile/link errors)
** will send a pointer to Lawrence for comment.
* DICOM test application [http://github.com/pieper/CTK/commit/304990558a522b391da7aaa31e1642f8deb37e09] [http://github.com/pieper/CTK/commit/0571b151312db2b310bf0a5dd1aa189294eeb3be]
** requires change currently only in [http://github.com/pieper/DCMTK this dcmtk fork]
* creating new dcmtk fork in commontk that can track dcmtk.org
* bbtk (CreaTools) merged with ctk on Jc branch - integrated with console and superbuild
* new CTKLauncher (sets environment before starting real app)
** will be available for any app
* Changover to CTK pimpl macros to use Qt style [http://github.com/commontk/CTK/commit/bab18744b88d3166d37bdcb628389ec46c782398]
* Command Line module switchover so slicer command line modules can be used in any ctk app
* MAF bus with patches to work with QtSOAP (patches to QtSOAP in cmake) and how to connect map MAF signal/slots to Qt
** Removing MAF dependencies from event bus code to commit to ctk
* Qt application host - pick app, start/stop, listen for SOAP messages. Also manages screen area for hosted app.
* Should have an example tomorrow that uses server and service.
* Some common code shared between client and server

=== Friday ===

* Discussed and agreed on a [[Contributing_to_CTK#Git_Commit_Style | git commit style]]
* Pushed changes to commontk/DCMTK on github as proper fork of the offis dcmtk.org git [http://github.com/commontk/DCMTK]
* MAF event bus and plug in now in ctk (extracted from MAF)
** demo application is close to finished
** loads plugin
** code is in a branch on Danielle's fork
* Inherit include paths from external projects added to build system
* Architecture of integration of command line modules into GIMIAS as example of general purpose utilities (involves moving XML parser into ctk)
* CTK being integrated in GIMIAS (need to add dependencies of Qt in build system)
* (TODO: example of external application that uses CTK using a find_package)
* Application Hosting
** protocol to start and monitor applications
** finishing data exchange
** ctk host can talk with ctk hosted application
*** start/stop/resize/progress messages
*** dicom data sending and file paths are being sorted out
** currently trying to talk with xip host/app
** wsdl types are being sorted out (some intermittent windows / java / .net issues)
** working remotely Lawrence on debugging
** [[Documentation/DicomApplicationHosting | summary wiki page]]
* Discussed testing and dashboards
** ctk tests include gui testing, so linux clients need to have access to X server (possibly using Xvfb)
* ctkLauncher pretty close to working
* dicom query retrieve example application is now in commontk on github and is [http://github.com/commontk/CTK/tree/81897d57563348b95e63172ebcbc325963a2e1e9/Applications/Testing/Cpp enabled as a test]

=== Next Steps ===

* Next Hackfest
** Proposal is sometime in February in Orlando (possibly before or after SPIE)
* Need for a Talkfest
** Possibly a one or two day meeting. Even a dedicated phone call would be a good idea.
* Focus on Application Hosting
** need examples of working binaries in various languages
** it would be good for CTK to have the reference C++ implementation and contribute to the spec
** a good application hosting solution has the potential to be the WOW application of ctk
* Need better documentation and example for using ctk in other applications
* Distributing Binaries
** Still have the dependencies on non-release versions of upstream tools (e.g. VTK and DCMTK)
** need to have method for maintaining binary compatibility when distributing bug fixes, e.g. http://ispras.linux-foundation.org/index.php/ABI_compliance_checker

Wolf: /* Status */

= DICOM Application Hosting =

== Introduction ==

The goal is to create a C++ implementation of an application host and and a hosted application conforming to DICOM Supplement 118 / Working Group 23 .

== Status ==

Current development happens in the dah branch of the commontk/CTK repository on github: http://github.com/commontk/CTK/tree/dah

Basic message passing between the CTK Host and the application works (state changes, screen area exchange). Basic interoperability with the XIP implementations also works (in both directions: XIP host -> ctk app, as well as ctk host -> XIP simple app), but there is no exchange of image data yet. (Note: the current version of the XIP host (v0.3.0) works only on Windows without problems).

== Build / Usage ==

Two applications can be turned on in the CMake configuration: ctkExampleHost and ctkExampleHostedApp . Make sure you also turn on all dicom related CTK_PLUGIN variables.

The ctkExampleHost is a Qt application . Press the Load button to choose the application to host. Press Start to invoke the application and Run to start processing.

== Introduction ==

'''Date:''' September 13-17 2010

'''Location:'''
Barcelona

'''Goal:''' A follow on to the wildly successful [http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Events:CTK-Pre-Hackfest-2010 March 2010 pre-hackfest] and [[CTK-Hackfest-May-2010| May 2010 hackfest]] .

'''Requirements:''' attendees must be enthusiastic about CTK and willing to spend their time with the details of dicom, git, cmake, c++, Qt, vtk, itk, openinventor, and related technologies. People who do not feel qualified for this are politely not invited :)

'''Group size:''' maximum 20 participants so we can have a manageable working meeting. The organizing committee will invite and select participants based on input from [[TheTeam]].

'''Organizers:''' Ivo Wolf, Steve Pieper, Stephen Aylward

'''Site Hosts:''' TBD

'''Attendees:''' (due to limited space, please contact the organizers to attend)
# Steve Pieper, Isomics, Inc., USA
# Ivo Wolf, Hochschule Mannheim and DKFZ, Germany
# Marco Nolden, DKFZ, Germany
# Sascha Zelzer, DKFZ, Germany
# Julien Finet, Kitware, USA
# Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin Kitware, USA
# Xavi Planes, Spain
# Daniele Giunchi, Italy
# Alessandro Chiarini, Italy
# Paolo Quadrani, Italy

'''Future Events:''' The organizing committee invited a group of developers to get the CTK project started and we've believe we've reached capacity for this event. Future hackfests will be announced in advance and we hope lots of people will be interested in participating. The venue and activities at future hackfests will be determined based on the number of active participants in the project.

== Preparation ==

Developers should bring a laptop with the [http://github.com/commontk/CTK current CTK source code] downloaded and [[Build_Instructions|built]].

Use the [http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ctk-developers CTK developers mailing list] to discuss build issues and topics for ongoing work.

'''We plan to hold weekly phone conferences during the month leading up to the actual hackfest. Be prepared to discuss projects so we can make the most effective use of the face-to-face hackfest time.'''

== Preliminary Agenda ==
* Monday, 9am - 5pm:
** git workflow
** other presentations (please add here)
** DICOM Application Hosting in CTK (Sascha)
** ...

* Thursday to Friday, 9am - 5pm:
** coding in small groups

== Topics and Projects ==

Pick up threads of discussion and activity from [http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Events:CTK-Hackfest-2010 Pre-Hackfest] and [[CTK-Hackfest-May-2010|May 2010 Hackfest]]

General set of topics (attendees, please flesh this out with your own ideas!)

=== Schedule Talkfest ===
* Pick a time and place for a talkfest in the US (perhaps at Washington University in St. Louis).

=== Review driving application ===
* First: Define the purpose of CTK:
** Candidate: CTK is meant to span the boundaries of current toolkits and applications. Specifically, its parts are intended to be easily integrated into current software systems and help them address software engineering challenges that impede their clinical use. We are currently focusing simplifying the challenging tasks of (1) integrating DICOM Q&R functionality into applications (i.e., thereby enabling the integration of applications into the data workflow of a clinical environment) and (2) providing clean and effective user interfaces that are appropriate for use in a clinical environment (e.g., intuitive user-interface widgets for window and level selection). Future challenges to be addressed include methods for software testing, event handling, and more.
* Second: Define the driving application to be bundled with CTK (that demonstrates the utility of CTK).
** "cool" application for users = "WOW!" application for computer scientist
** Candidate: The WOW! application could be achieved by working towards three goals:
*** Goal1: Provide Qt widgets for browsing data on a PACS and downloading (Q&R) select images to local disk.
**** Should support batch download based on selected slices, series, studies, and patients.
**** Would be nice to save in another format such as NIFTI, but that is a nice-to-have.
**** Query/browse Qt widget would show results as a tree (patient, study, series, images) with optional keys (sex, etc), when available
**** Provide progress reporting of transfers
**** This would be HUGE for the community. Imagine having a small set of Qt/DCMTK widgets that combined together form a Q&R workstation. This is a great place to start sharing.
*** Goal2: slice-based view of downloaded data (data on disk)
**** Qt image viewer with intensity window/level and not much more. This is meant to be minimalistic.
*** Goal3: initiate processing on data (server-based data or downloaded data) using the dicom plug-in standard
**** This is where we can really help the community. Provide a C++ reference implementation, and some Qt widgets that help initiate calls to available services.

=== Organization and Workflow ===

* First day will be dedicated to code organization and policies for git-based workflow.
** expected result will be a set of procedures for dissemination to the ctk community for comment and adoption.

=== DICOM ===
* Review of ITKv4 DICOM Plans and discussion of DCMTK and GDCM.

=== Widgets ===
* Review status of Qt-based CTK widget developments
** Slicer4, DTK, GoFigure (others?)

=== Plugins, Modules ===
(utilities for discovering and invoking code blocks)
* Use case demonstrating the benefits of the plugin framework (Slicer Command Line Plugins?)
* Integration of Qt SOAP (?) http://qt.nokia.com/products/appdev/add-on-products/catalog/4/Utilities/qtsoap/ for DICOM application hosting

Old:
* Plugins: not-application dependent (like a java plugin that runs in firefox or internet explorer or in our case something like a registration routine that gets invoked from a host application)
* Modules: rely on some of the API of the host application (like a loadable module that creates a custom GUI using a Qt API so it may work in more than one Qt-based application)

=== Interoperability ===
(gluing toolkits together)
* VTK/OpenInventor shared OpenGL rendering context

=== Events and Communications ===
(run-time messaging within and among applications)
* ZMQ
* OpenIGTLink
* Event Bus (MAF, Patrick's ZMQ)

=== Integration ===
(using CTK code in different applications)
* Change the private implementation macros to behave like Qt (derivable pimples)
* Improve unit testing macros (interactive mode, property check...)

'''Hotel'''

We have made a pre hotel booking for CTK in a hotel that is very close to the meeting place. We booked 10 rooms (individual or double). There’s a reduced price for UPF (15%), so you can directly contact to the hotel using the name “CTK UPF” and you will get the reduction. This reduction will be applied individually, not for a group.

To formalize this pre hotel booking you need to contact with the hotel and provide the credit card number and Expiry date. This pre hotel booking is valid until 06.09.10. If you will stay more days in Barcelona, you can request these to the hotel as soon as possible.

'''Goal:''' A follow on to the wildly successful [http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Events:CTK-Pre-Hackfest-2010 March 2010 pre-hackfest].

'''Requirements:''' attendees must be willing to spend their time with the details of dicom, git, cmake, c++, Qt, vtk, itk, openinventor, and related technologies. People who do not feel qualified for this are politely not invited :)

'''Group size:''' maximum 20 participants so we can have a manageable working meeting. The organizing committee will invite and select participants based on input from [[TheTeam]].

'''Organizers:''' Ivo Wolf, Steve Pieper, Stephen Aylward

'''Site Hosts:''' Kevin Cleary and Patrick Cheng

'''Future Events:''' The organizing committee invited a group of developers to get the CTK project started and we've believe we've reached capacity for this event. Future hackfests will be announced in advance and we hope lots of people will be interested in participating. The venue and activities at future hackfests will be determined based on the number of active participants in the project.
