Q1/R 1.3 |
New NOE
assignment concept |
CARA will make
use of the new export information available
with RADAR. There will probably be a new
kind of "spin peak list" associated with
NOESY spectra being able to capture all
important RADAR cycle assignment information
(replacing the current link alias approach).
The new memory management strategy will
already be implemented with this release
(not only in 1.4), because I want to avoid
to develop two variations of CARA in
parallel. |
|
Q2/R 1.4 |
Structure and
other information |
We will expand the information model of CARA
to incorporate also multiple chains,
molecule families and structure information.
This will ease the integration with
structure calculation algorithms and also
allow to develop new optimization and
inference strategies incorporating the whole
chain from peak picking to structure
calculation. |
|
Q3/ R 1.5 |
Instance based
peak inference |
CARA will use
the spins of the real neighbours for peak
inference as soon as they are known. Today,
peak inference is based on the current spin
system (containing
real and projected spins), the generic
residue spin system at positions i-1 and
i+1, and the corresponding spectrum and
residue types. |
Q4/
R 2.0 |
New User
Interface |
A new dynamic
user interface, consisting of NAF components
glued together by Lua code. The users will
be able to customize and build their own
scopes glueing components together.
The current scopes will be re-implemented
using this new concept. This release will
also make use of the new features (graphics
enginge, printing, MVC) to be expected in
Qt4. |
Q1/2006
R 2.1 |
New Workbench |
The new user interface concept will allow
for new features like persistent window
configurations, docking views etc.
comparable to the
Eclipse
workbench (but faster and leaner than a Java
implementation of course ;-) ). |
Updated roadmap: GUI refactoring
was kicked out in favor of the re-desing of the CARA
GUI layer, which has already started in March and
makes use of Qt4 beta. The new GUI will be developed
in parallel to 1.4 and 1.5, but only be released in
Q4. You can expect preview releases to be available
in Q3.
