Request for model translations into CellML

We are putting out a call to the modelling community to see if there are any models, in particular, which you would like to see translated into CellML. We would rather focus our efforts on translating models that have been requested by the "experts" rather than the alternative, which is for us to randomly choose models of our own accord from the literature!

Depending on the scale of the response, there will be a system for assigning priority to the requests. Priority will be given to papers which are pre-publication, especially where the journal has asked that the model code be made available online at the time of going to press. Model completeness is also a consideration, and if authors are willing to share their original code this will be in the model's favour as this makes the translation process much smoother.

In the future we intend to have a "request for model submission" form as part of the new repository (PMR2). But until this happens the best way to get your model translated into CellML and loaded into the repository is to email either Catherine Lloyd or James Lawson.

We are looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks
Catherine and James
