Key Investigators

Project Description

Objective

1. Develop a framework to send commands to the Plus Server Launcher using OpenIGTLink
2. Should be able to start and stop servers, as well as pass config files
3. Store server states and config files in Slicer so that servers can be started remotely when the scene is loaded

Approach and Plan

1. Use the updated version of OpenIGTLInkIF using OpenIGTLinkIO to send commands to the Plus Server Launcher
2. Add an interface to control servers to PlusRemote in SlicerIGT
3. Implement MRML nodes within SlicerIGT to save server launcher connections, and to start servers automatically when the scene is loaded

Progress and Next Steps

• Implement interface to allow the PlusServerLauncher to be accessed remotely

• Allow server monitoring in Slicer (Status, Server Log, etc.)

• Store server info within Slicer scene
