Master Outline of NCRR Tasks

• get it working
• wrap it as a BioPSE module?

BioPSE version 0.0

• rewrite fields
• design and implement standard field operators
• remove dead-wood modules
• reorganize BioPSE directory structure
  • project -> datatype -> operator category -> operator
• update/integrate remaining useful modules

BioPSE components (some v0.0, some later...)

• modeling

- integrated mesh generation

• time signal processing
• image/volume processing
  • simulation
• update FEM (edge-based methods)
• implement BEM
• implement minimal norm solutions
• implement anslytic models

- 3rd party numerical packages
- LAPACK

• PetSc
• Hansen's regularization methods

- 3rd party systems wrapped as modules

• Matlab - IDL
  
• Nrrd (Gordon)
• VDT (Krysl - CalTech)
• map3d?

- clean-up existing visualization modules

• streamlines
• isosurfaces
• volvis

BioPSE programs (maps / networks)

• simple examples
• prebuilt blocks (field reader -> isosurface -> salmon)
• somewhat more complex examples (loops, semaphores, multiple blocks)

BioPSE infrastructure

• module builder
• code import (wrapper)
• matlab/idl
• data i/o import/export (xml?)
• detachable UI (probably done by C-SAFE)
• multi-level interface
• scripting
• shared variables
• hierarchical UI's
  • blocks (mega-modules) as first class objects
  • naming convention for loading/saving blocks
