BioPSE/SCIRun/map3d Workshop
============================
The NIH/NCRR Center for Bioelectric Field Modeling, Simulation, and
Visualization is pleased to offer a pair of workshops for users and
developers of our software.
Date:
Users: December 14 and 15, 2003
Developers: December 14-16, 2003
Intended audience:
Users: All users and potential users of the NCRR software suite. We
assume at least a moderate level of familiarity with bioelectric
field problems, a rudimentary knowledge of Unix/Linux, but no
programming expertise.
Developers: developers should be comfortable with C/C++ programming,
competent Unix/Linux users, and have a basic knowledge of
bioelectric
field problems. Knowledge of Tcl/Tk, emacs, and XML are all useful
but not required to benefit from the workshop.
Workshop outline:
The overall plan is to offer ongoing parallel lecture and lab
sessions
and allow participants to select what they need at any time. We will
develop optional tracks that we will direct toward particular
audiences
and stage a few sessions that we hope all will attend. We assume
users
will be present on days 1 and 2 and that developers will attend all
three days. Developers with substantial previous knowledge can
either
join on day 2 or use day 1 for one-on-one sessions with developers in
the lab.
Day 1: Users and Developers
Background to BioPSE/SCIRun and map3d concepts; examination of a
sample
problems; demos of nets; elements of BioPSE/SCIRun; hands-on playing
with existing nets and map3d scripts; using the new SCIRun Power
Apps.
Joint session #1: short presentation of research problems by all
participants
Day 2: Users and Developers
Advanced elements of BioPSE/SCIRun: module categories and
organization,
macromodules, network editing, fields, I/O mechanisms and file
conversion, debugging networks; map3d options and usage, scripting
in
map3d.
Users' session: hands on design, implementation and debugging of
user-defined networks and map3d scripts.
Developers' session: installation and configuration; GUI design
options
and guidelines; source code organization; power applications based
on
SCIRun; threads; persistent I/O; namespace, on-the-fly-compile;
contributing code to BioPSE/SCIRun project.
Joint session #2: discussion of projects, SCIRun/BioPSE, and the
workshop.
Day 3: Developers
Making a module: designing modules; programming conventions and
standards; data structure details; module maker, etc.
Computers
We have a modest number of seats available for workshop
participants to
use during hands-on sessions. We encourage participants to bring a
laptop running either Linux or Mac OSX on which we will install
BioPSE/SCIRun for use during the workshop and afterwards. Please
see the
workshop website for details on minimal machine configurations.
Accommodations:
University of Utah Guest House: $69/night including breakfast.
Reserve as part of the registration process.
Meals:
Lunches, coffee breaks, and group dinner on Day #2 all provided as
part
of workshop.
Workshop tuition:
$175-$200 per person, depending on number of participants. Includes
all
workshop materials, lunches and one group dinner, and Workshop
T-shirt.
Payment:
We can only accept payment by cheque made out to the Scientific
Computing and Imaging Institute or purchase orders to the
University of
Utah. Payment by credit card is unfortunately not possible.

costs of students attending the workshop. To apply for a
scholarship,
please send a brief description of yourself, your education, a
letter
of support from an academic advisor, and a description of how you
intend to use BioPSE/SCIRun in your research.
