Workshop Format
The general format of the workshop will follow the successful convention of past CBO workshops.
The first part of the workshop (Day 1) will consist of a series of talks and discussions that will focus on the current state of the CBO development and Cell Behavior Model Specification Language, progress on a number of current multi-scale multi-cell model simulation packages as well as an overview of the tasks to be accomplished during the 3rd workshop. To attract a diverse group of genuinely interested participants we will reserve enough time slots for scientists willing to present their modeling methodologies/platforms along with a list of problems they run into when they attempt to share/validate/curate their models. A proposed list of speakers and topics is given below under Proposed Workshop Agenda. Please note that this is not a final agenda and if you are interested in contributing your talk please contact us as soon as possible.
The second part of the workshop (Day 2) will consist of two parallel sessions where participants will work on improving the current version of the CBO. Separate tasks will be assigned to the two groups of scientists and draft a White Paper summarizing progress made on the CBO and Cell Behavior Model Specification Language will be prepared. The workshop will conclude with a summary talk delivered by Dr. James Glazier.
