Registration is now open for WAM-BAMM*05 at http://www.WAM-BAMM.org.
Travel funds will be available for students presenting papers.
The first annual meeting of the World Association of Modelers (WAM)
Biologically Accurate Modeling Meeting (BAMM), in association with the
second GENESIS Users Meeting GUM*05 will be held March 31st - April 2nd in
beautiful San Antonio, Texas.
The meeting's overall objective is to promote communication and
collaboration between users and others involved in realistic biological
modeling and to provide an introduction to other interested scientists.
All computational biologists, not only those using GENESIS, or doing neural
modeling, are invited to present scientific as well as technical work.
Subjects considered: Modeling techniques, simulator design, modeling
results, modeling inspired biological experimentation, and world
modeling community coordination.
THE PROGRAM
Unique in its structure, this meeting will combine introductory,
intermediate, and advanced tutorials in realistic modeling techniques with
a full agenda of scientific presentations.
Currently Scheduled Tutorials:
David Beeman, University of Colorado Boulder: Introduction to Realistic
Neural Modeling
Michael Hines, Yale University: The NEURON simulator - Recent Developments
Dieter Jaeger, Emory University: From experiment to simulation - a modeling
case study using the deep cerebellar nucleus neuron.
Jeremy Edgerton, Emory University: Controlling complex synaptic input
patterns to single cell models without a network simulation.
Avrama Blackwell, George Mason University: Modeling Calcium and
Biochemical Reactions.
Michael Vanier, Caltech: Constructing large networks in GENESIS.
Michael Vanier, Caltech: Parameter Searching tools in GENESIS
Greg Hood, CMU: Parallel (P-) GENESIS its use and applications.
Sharon Crook, Arizona State University: XML for model specification workshop
Padraig Gleeson, University College London: Building 3D network
models with neuroConstruct.
Friday and Saturday will be devoted to oral and poster presentations by
meeting participants and invited speakers.
