Pathway Tools Workshop at SRI International, Menlo Park, California (original) (raw)

Agenda and Archives of Presentations

This workshop oriented around SRI's Pathway Tools software and BioCyc Database Collection will explore pathway bioinformatics and Pathway/Genome Databases.

The workshop will combine formal presentations by groups outside SRI International -- both invited speakers and speakers selected through an abstract-submission process (see below), tutorials by SRI International staff, and a hackathon. Suggested topics include but are not limited to:

• Share expertise on how to develop a new organism-specific database with Pathway Tools, both from a technical perspective, and a logistical perspective (exploring issues such as attracting support and cooperation from the scientific community for that organism, and securing funding).
• Present new scientific results achieved with Pathway Tools and BioCyc.
• Share experiences on how to make the most of Pathway Tools.
• Presentations by users on extensions they have developed to the software.
• Presentations by SRI International on recent and planned developments to the software, and on software APIs and database schema, to educate users on how to compute with PGDBs.
• Discussions of requested future enhancements to Pathway Tools and BioCyc
• Ideas for other software tools to integrate with Pathway Tools
• Group development of new Pathway Tools enhancements
