2021 International CellML Workshop

The 14th International CellML Workshop was held 19 & 20 April 2021 at the Waiheke Island Resort, 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. Following the cancellation of the 2020 workshop, we are hesitantly optimistic that we will be able to hold an in-person event for those in New Zealand to attend, while following our usual practice of enabling remote participation via Zoom.

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 debut a rapid fire lightning talk session as well as sessions featuring the following topics.

libCellML (website; GitHub).
SPARC MAP Core and the SPARC Portal.
Open science and publishing, Physiome journal.
Model and data curation.
Model and data annotation.
Hands on tutorials with libCellML and related tools.
