In the scope of the Human Brain Project (SGA2), this document collects the specific technical recommendations for the future development of the MIP derived from the potential integration of new types of data into the platform. This integration is discussed in detail in the accompanying document “In-depth assessment of potential new data integration into the MIP”, with component ID C2975. Here, we begin with a high-level description of the MIP architecture and of its different software components, and then we analyse the evolution of each of them from a technical perspective.
