Press Release

Kitware is a sponsor of the event, at which Technical Leader Aashish Chaudhary will co-present “Building Near-Real-Time Processing Pipelines with the Spark-MPI Platform.”

This year’s International Conference for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) is happening in Boston from August 14 to August 19. FOSS4G is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software, bringing together developers, users, decision-makers and observers from over 40 countries for six days of workshops, presentations, and discussions.

Kitware will be in attendance with two New Technology presentations:

1. “GeoJS: High Performance Geospatial Visualization for Scientific and Infovis Commmunity”, by Aashish Chaudhary, David Manthey, and Jonathan Beezley.

2. “GeoNotebook: an extension to the Jupyter Notebook for exploratory geospatial analysis”, by Christopher Kotfila and Aashish Chaudhary with Rama Nemani of NASA Ames.

Kitware team members Dr. Beatriz Paniagua, Dr. Rachel Clipp, Mr. Jeff Webb, and Dr. Stephen Aylward will be attending the Military Health System Research Symposium (MHSRS) 2017 to support our efforts and explore collaborations in physiology modeling, surgical simulation, dental and craniomaxillo facial injury, and traumatic brain injury.

Dr. Clipp will present a paper she has co-authored, titled “On the TBI Initiated Restructuring of Cerebral Microvasculature: A Multi-Fidelity Modeling Approach.”

The MHSRS is an annual Department of Defense scientific symposium that focuses on the medical needs of war fighters. Over 2000 civilian and military attendees  gather to collaborate on topics related to Combat Casualty Care, Military Operational Medicine, Clinical and Rehabilitative Medicine, Medical Simulation and Information Sciences, and Military Infectious Disease. This year’s MHSRS is happening August 27th – 30th at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center, in Kissimmee FL.
