2022 International CellML Workshop

The 15th International CellML Workshop will be held 31 May 2022 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. 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 (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 have 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.
Reproducibility and online simulation (e.g., BioSimulations)

Location

The 2022 International CellML Workshop will be held at the Waiheke Island Resort, Waiheke Island, Auckland, New Zealand. Transport from downtown Auckland to the venue will be arranged on the day of the workshop.

Workshop Dinner

If there is sufficient interest indicated via the registration form, we will arrange for a group dinner near the ferry terminal. 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.

Organisation

The 2022 International CellML Workshop is being organised by David Nickerson, with the help of Dana Felbab, Hugh Sorby, and Alan Garny from the Auckland Bioengineering Institute. Please contact the organisers if you have any queries regarding the workshop.
