[IGSTK-Developers] outline for papers at MICCAI

[Stephen R. Aylward]

Hi,

I think these are good.

For paper 1,

I would emphasize requirements-based software development process.  This 
has never been done before - it goes against ITK's style of programming. 
  It is a new style - combining extreme programming with requirements. 
The sandbox makes this possible.  My suggestion for the outline

Introduction
Need to assure software quality for image-guided interventions
- never in an unknown state
- only the necessary capabilities
- known performance / operating speeds
Solution: requirements-based software using open-source tools
Tools: vkt, fltk, itk, soviewers, trackerlib

Methods:
Usage cases
Requirements

Conflict with extreme programming

Use sandbox, iterations, and cvs checkin with requirements  Also tcons, 
dashboards, etc.

Results
IGSTK is good....


For paper 2,

Similar intro as in 1, but play-up state machine and wrapping existing 
toolkits:

Methods:
State machines
SOViewers
Tracker/comm
Logging
Example app

Conclusion
IGSTK is good...


Just my 2cents...

Stephen
