The imaging community brings imaging experts and users of in vivo imaging together to address requirements and AIM usage. Community members use AIM library and derived AIM software products and provide feedback to the AIM team. The diagram, Figure 8, depicts the procedures of the AIM project. Any requests for improving, enhancing, and bug fixing must be entered into NCI JIRA as described in section 1.2. There are three sub-projects under the AIM project: AIM Model, AIM Enterprise Service, and AIM workstation.


New inquiry and enhancement requests for the AIM model or "AIM Model Use Cases Requirements" must be submitted to https://tracker.nci.nih.gov/browse/AIM. Once the AIM team accepts a new request to be included in AIM model, the model and accompanying documentation describing any additions and changes are released for public review and comment. The AIM team and its advisors review incoming feedback and work with requested parties who provide comments and suggestions. If need be, the AIM team releases a revised AIM model and repeats a public review process. All corresponding messages of a JIRA issue shall be entered in the NCI JIRA. After a model has been finalized, the AIM team performs the SIW [1] process and submits the model to the EVS team for review and approval. Once the model is approved, it is submitted to the EVS team to be published to the caDSR [2]. At the same time, the AIM team makes a request to release a new AIM model from the NCI program officer before a public announcement can be released to the public. While the new AIM model is being submitted to caDSR, the AIM team also works on a new version of the AIM C++ software library as well as an AIM XML schema for public use. Changes to the library are also incorporated to ATB, ATS and the AIM workstation. Both the AIM library and AIM XML schema will have to go through a software quality assurance (QA) process. After they pass the QA process, the AIM team makes a request to the NCI program officer for public release of the library and schema. Once approved, the library and schema are uploaded to NCI AIM GitHub for public use. A software and schema releases will be publicly announced.
