The Virtual Imaging Platform: Scientific Applications as a Service and Beyond

The Virtual Imaging Platform (VIP) is a web portal for medical simulation and image data analysis.

About this webinar:

Description

The Virtual Imaging Platform (VIP) is a web portal for medical simulation and image data analysis. It leverages resources available in the EGI biomed Virtual Organisation to offer an open service to academic researchers worldwide. In March 2022, VIP counts 1380 registered users and about 20 applications publicly available. In the last few years, VIP has addressed interoperability and reproducibility concerns, in the larger scope of a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) approach to scientific data analysis.

The presentation will give an overview of VIP and its main interests for the audience:

  1. use existing applications as a service on VIP
  2. import your own applications to make them available to the community
  3. benefit from EGI biomed resources in a transparent way and
  4. foster open and reproducible science

The presentation will be followed by two demos, one focusing on useful information on joining VIP (home page and account creation/EGI Check-in authentication) and the second one on the main VIP functionalities, such as executing an application and monitoring its status.
