2nd Icy Coding Party
Icy is one of the most user friendly platforms for bio-image analysis.
From the 4th to 6th of May, a coding party (also called a hackaton) was held at Institute Pasteur in Paris where the Icy team supported around 20 participants with solving their specific problems regarding the Icy platform and at the same time advancing Icy. From ETH Zurich two members of SIS, Piotr Kupczyk and Juan Fuentes, were invited to the event to develop an Icy plug-in for integrating Icy with the openBIS database system developed at ETH.
This plug-in allows researchers to access the openBIS database though two different methods, making use of the public remote API of openBIS.
First, researchers who want to analyse their images stored in openBIS with Icy can open files stored in a remote openBIS database directly without leaving the Icy analysis environment.
Second, researchers can use a workflow creation interface to define their workflow that then can later be executed in batch mode, e.g. on a cluster.
The development of the plugin is now finished and it will be published to the Icy plugin repository soon.
The images of this article are part of the demonstration given during the last day of the Icy coding party. This demonstration was recorded by the Icy Team and can be watched at YouTube (from 3:40 to 5:30).
Juan and Piotr would like to send special thanks to the Icy team, Stephane Dallongeville, Alexandre Dufour and Fabrice de Chaumont, for their support before, during and after the event that made this development possible.
