REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR
GUM*02
November 8,9,10
San Antonio, Texas
Registration is now open for the first annual GENESIS USERS MEETING
this fall in
beautiful San Antonio, Texas, the weekend immediately following the
Society for Neuroscience
Annual Meeting in Orlando Florida.
Meeting information and registration are available at:
http://genesis-users-meeting.org/
The meeting has been designed as a working meeting devoted to research
and education using anatomically and physiologically realistic
biological models.
While established as the GENESIS USERS meeting, all devotees of
realistic modeling are
encouraged to attend.
Unique in its structure, GUM*02 will combine introductory, intermediate,
and advanced tutorials with a full agenda of scientific presentations
focused on the
study of biological systems using realistic modeling techniques. As
a working meeting
with an educational objective, attendees are encouraged to present
not only finished research, but
also work in progress.
TUTORIALS
Tutorial sessions will be held on Friday, November 8th, We are pleased
to announce that the introductory tutorial on realistic modeling
will be conducted by Dr. Michael Hines, the creator of the modeling system
NEURON, and Dr. David Beeman, manager of the GENESIS users group.
Both presenters have extensive teaching experience in the Computational
Neuroscience at the Marine Biological Laboratory as well as the European
Course in Computational Neuroscience. Other tutorials will be offered by
leaders in the field in subjects from subcellular to network modeling, and
parameter searching techniques to the use of parallel computers.
Registration for tutorials is on a first come first serve basis so it
will be important to
register in advance at:
http://genesis-users-meeting.org/
SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
The contributed scientific program will take place on Saturday and Sunday,
November 9th and 10th. All attendees are encouraged to present
scientific and technical results, and all submissions will be accepted.
Appropriate presentations include scientific results from realistic modeling
efforts, presentations on technical aspects of simulator use and development,
or presentations describing biological systems felt to be ripe for
simulation and
modeling. Unique to this meeting, we do not necessarily expect
completed studies;
works in progress are also welcomed. In this way students, especially,
can benefit from the expertise of other attendees. Each scientific
presentation will consist of a 15 minute oral overview in the morning followed
by more detailed discussion of results in a poster/demonstration
format in the afternoon.
Presenters are encouraged to bring computers
COMMUNITY BUILDING
In addition to the educational and scientific aspects of meeting,
opportunities will also be provided for more relaxed interactions between
participants. San Antonio Texas is famous for its River Walk
(http://www.thesanantonioriverwalk.com/index.asp). The San Antonio/Austin area
of South Texas is also famous for its indigenous music scene - recently
added to by Ramon and the K-Halls, who, it is rumored, are already
putting pressure on meeting organizers for an exclusive contract. In
other words, a good time will be had by all!
MEETING COSTS
Every effort has been made to keep costs to a minimum to encourage attendance
by students. Room rates in the conference hotel have been established at $69
a night, unlimited occupancy. Advanced registration for students including
postdoctoral fellows is $99 ($159 for faculty). The rates increase
at the conference
itself, so you are encouraged to register in advance. Again,
additional meeting
information as well as advanced registration is available at:

We hope to see you in 'ol San Antone this Fall
