HARMONY 2014

Dates: April 22-25, 2014 Location: Manchester, UK Hosted by: Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) In 2010, the systems biology standards communities inaugurated a new, broader series of meetings to replace, among other events, the individual SBML and SBGN workshops and BioPAX meetings. HARMONY is a hackathon-type meeting, with a focus on development of the standards, interoperability and infrastructure. There are generally not many general discussions or oral presentations during HARMONY; instead, the time is devoted to allowing hands-on hacking and interaction between people focused on practical development of software and standards. The HARMONY 2014 meeting will be hosted by the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology at the University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.
