13th International CellML Workshop

The 13th International CellML Workshop will be held 6 & 7 May 2019 at the Goldie Estate 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 and related technologies, work from across the VPH & Physiome Project and computational systems biology communities are covered (e.g., SED-ML, Physiome Repository, COMBINE, reproducibility and model curation, etc.). In addition to participants from the Auckland Bioengineering Institute, the Medical Technologies Centre of Research Excellence, the Maurice Wilkins Centre, and the University of Auckland, previous workshops have attracted delegates from the UK, USA, Japan, Norway, France, Poland, Belgium, Italy, and Germany for both in-person and remote presentations.

This year the workshop will feature the following topics.

libCellML developments and plans (documentation; GitHub).
SPARC MAPcore.
Model curation.
Model and data annotation.
