11th International CellML Workshop

The 11th International CellML Workshop will be held 10 & 11 April 2017 at the Goldie Room on Waiheke Island, Auckland, New Zealand.

The annual International CellML Workshop is an opportunity for scientists to present and discuss ongoing work related to physiological modelling and simulation with particular focus on model and data exchange & reuse, archiving, and versioning and related software support.

While the primary emphasis of this workshop is on CellML, work from across the VPH & Physiome Project and computational systems biology communities are covered (e.g., RICORDO, SED-ML, Physiome Repository, COMBINE, and the Virtual Physiological Rat). In addition to participants from the Auckland Bioengineering Institute, the Maurice Wilkins Centre, and the University of Auckland, previous workshops have attracted delegates from the UK, USA, Japan, Norway, France, Poland, Belgium, and Germany.

This year the workshop will feature the following topics.

  • The long awaited CellML 2.0 (release note; draft).
  • libCellML developments and plans (documentation; GitHub).
  • Bond-graph based modular modelling with CellML.
  • Model curation.
  • Semantic annotation and the Physiome Model Repository.

If there is sufficient interest indicated via the registration form, we will arrange for a group dinner on the Monday evening. If you would like to change your answer for the dinner from the registration form, please let the organisers know. Partners and colleagues are also welcome to attend the dinner, just let the organisers know the numbers as soon as possible.
