Abstract

This paper discusses the development in Tk of a collaborative browser for scientific image databases. The browser, known as the \neighborhood viewer," allows groups of neuroscientists to explore systematically a large collection of brain images. The paper discusses the application, its development, and a set of lessons learned during development. In particular, it shows how constraints and distributed constraints simplified development, discusses the implementation of a wavelet-based image format, and draws lessons about engineering experimental, evolving systems.
