MIDAS has been used to manage publications for e-journals, to host and process data for multi-center research projects, and to provide public access to data in compliance with NIH and NSF data sharing policies. MIDAS is currently used for a diverse set of applications including:

• Serving data for electronic, interactive journals
• Managing data for blinded studies run by the National Library of Medicine
• Hosting and providing access to an organization's research publications
• Collecting and distributing proprietary data for multi-center studies
• Monitoring algorithm development progress by nightly testing on hundreds of cases

Here are some examples of live instances of MIDAS:

The MIDAS Journal is an open-access online journal covering different domains from Visualization to Image processing. The MIDAS Journal has been hosting workshop papers for the Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) conference. The MIDAS Journal receives more than 10,000 visitors every month and currently hosts more than 350 publications.
The Insight Journal is an open-access, online journal covering the domain of medical image processing and visualization. The Insight Journal receives new implementation from users and developers of the Insight Toolkit. When source code is submitted with a publication, it is automatically built and tested on a remote machine and the results is reported on the journal as a review.
The MIDAS installation at Kitware hosts public datasets. Specifically, anonymized brain MRIs (T1, T2, PD) from 100 healthy patients as well as several datasets related to the Image-Guided Surgery Toolkit and the Insight Toolkit. This installation is the core MIDAS product, without any customization. It allows researchers to post datasets and disseminates them quickly.
The MIDAS installation at the Optical Society of America is a customizations of MIDAS. The OSA has been deploying MIDAS in the context of Interactive Science Publishing. This MIDAS installation currently hosts five published journals that make use of the ISP technology and more than 500GB of datasets.
The Kitware Publication Database hosts and manages publications written by Kitware employees and are related to various Kitware projects. The Kitware Publication Database is built on top of the MIDAS framework and provides an easy way to manage and disseminate publications.
The SPL Publication Database currently manages more than 1,400 publications covering 10 different websites. The SPL Publication Database uses MIDAS at its core; this particular instance shows how MIDAS can easily be customized for different websites.
