Agenda: 2 July 2008

1. (Catherine) Helping Dan Beard's group

Dan Beard sent this to Catherine:

> I also want to point you to our Biological Components Databank: > http://june.phys.mcw.edu/BioWiki/index.php/Biological_Components_Datab > ank > > We have put up one CellML model so far: > http://june.phys.mcw.edu/BioWiki/index.php/Citrate_Synthase > and we are planning to do more. First, we have to develop some basic > protocols for validating that we have coded the CellML correctly. Any > suggestions? I've had a look at their CellML model and it contains the reaction element. I had a go at re-coding the model for them (by hand) but the model would have been under-constrained as there were parameter values missing.

Regardless of this specific example, we need to assist Dan's group in their automated translation of their models into CellML... Maybe this could be linked in with Neil's request?

2. (Catherine) ICBME 2008 December 3-6

Possible talk/poster presentations:

1. general overview of the CellML project (specifications, metadata, physiome project) - Poul
2. tools overview - Alan/Andrew/Justin?
3. model repository (can expect a live PMR2 by then?) - Tommy/Randall?
4. model development best practice/guidelines - Catherine/James?
5. modularity/reuse - Mike/Andre?
6. visualisation of CellML models and linkage to ontologies - Sarala?

Can we identify who is responsible for each topic and allocate the writing of abstracts (due 30th July).

Note that we may get 2 or 3 representatives to attend and present multiple topics on behalf of the others.

3. PMR2 update.
4. PCEnv/CellML API progress update
5. CellML Spec progress update
6. Update on repository contents
7. Time permitting: Updates or additional items from volunteering attendees
