Advanced Imaging Center - Committee Meeting
September 2011
The next global meeting of the AIC Committee will take place at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany. The event will run from Wednesday 7th September – Friday 9th September 2011. The meeting is one day longer than previously AIC meetings. Therefore, members who wish only to participate in the Imaris portion of the event can join us on Thursday 8th September for 2 days.
Hotel and Travel Information
AIC members are responsible for their own travel and hotel arrangements, however some useful information can be found in the AIC forum to assist in your decisions.
Agenda
Tuesday, September 6th
Arrival day for AIC members who wish to attend the extra day.
Day 1 - Wednesday, September 7th
Room: Courtyard Seminar Room A at EMBL
Start: 9.00 AM
Lunch: approx. 12.30 PM
Afternoon coffee: approx. 3:30 PM
End of day and return to Heidelberg: approx. 5.30 PM
Joint AIC dinner: 7 PM (see forum for details)
Topic: Image Acquisition and Huge Image Strategies
- AICs present their favorite acquisition software plus reasons for the choice and limitations that they hoped to overcome.
- Marius presents ideas and concepts for next generation acquisition software and data management challenges.
- Break-out into discussion groups to work on selected aspects of acquisition:
- control versus automation;
- instrumentation-oriented versus application-oriented GUI;
- GUI versus programmatic control;
- image management (TBD; storage; formats; indexing; mining; projection/compression; early versus late image interpretation/analysis etc.)
- Outlook on novel applications which require additional acquisition control such as live decisions or iterative imaging.
Day 2 – Thursday, September 8th
Room: Courtyard Seminar Room A at EMBL
Start: 9.00 AM
Coffee break: approx. 11 AM
Lunch: approx. 1 PM
Afternoon coffee: approx. 3:30 PM

Topic: AIC Presentations, Imaris® Evolutionary Ideas
Some of the topics below will be discussed in plenum, others in break-out sessions:
- AICs present their work (or provide an update from last year), achievements with Imaris and its limitation and a list of essential image processing software used in the study.
- Bitplane presents Imaris roadmap.
- Break-out sessions to discuss topics below with plenary presentation of results at the end.
- "To render or to plot – that is the question": A discussion on how to best present multi-dimensional output data.
- Correlative microscopy - pooling, browsing, and comparing large data sets.
- ImarisCell – next steps.
- Novel algorithms for microscopy image analysis.
- Imaris Wailing Wall
