While there are several software solutions for microscopy control that can be used to implement smart-microscopy workflows, there is no reference specification on what functionalities are needed, or how these workflows could be implemented. To facilitate the development of smart-microscopy applications, and enable their execution across imaging-systems with similar modalities, we, the Smart Microscopy Working Group, are working to establish such a standard specification and to put forth desired workflows, then in dialog we find functionality requirements, reach common terminologies, and share these with the community for feedback and improvement. The working group is composed of participants from both academia and industry, meeting regularly online with the support of the Euro-BioImaging Industry Board.
