| We've added a public symposium this year to take advantage of the large number of institutions in the Bay Area with a significant interest in systems biology and the network visualization of biological data. Our goal is to invite presentations to provide attendees with an overview of Cytoscape as a tool and (more importantly) some of the areas of science that it is being applied to. We will be forming a "program committee" in the next couple of weeks, so if you have any great ideas, please send e-mail to [mailto:apico@gladstone.ucsf.edu Alex Pico] or [mailto:scooter@cgl.ucsf.edu Scooter Morris]. | We've added a public symposium this year to take advantage of the large number of institutions in the Bay Area with a significant interest in systems biology and the network visualization of biological data.

Cytoscape Developer Retreat 2006
San Francisco - October 9th - 14th, 2006 [http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/cgi-bin/surveyCGI.py?../datadocs/Workshops/CytoscapeRetreat/wsReg.xml Register Now!]
The 4th Annual Cytoscape Retreat will be held October 11th - 13th, 2006 (Wed-Fri) at UCSF Mission Bay Campus in San Francisco. The retreat will be preceded by a 2-day Hackathon on the 9th and 10th. And, if you can stay another day, there will be recreational activities organized for Saturday the 14th.
Cytoscape is jointly developed by the groups of Benno Schwikowski (Pasteur Institute, Paris), Trey Ideker (University of California San Diego), Chris Sander (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center), Lee Hood (Institute of Systems Biology, Seattle), and Annette Adler (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). This year the retreat will be co-hosted by two new contributor groups of Tom Ferrin (UCSF Computer Graphics Laboratory) and Bruce Conklin (Gladstone/UCSF, GenMAPP).
The meeting will mainly be informal and technically focused with all major Cytoscape team members gathered together to set new directions for Cytoscape, plan new features and collaboratively work on code. Cytoscape-related presentations by invitees are welcome. Social activities around the meeting are also scheduled. This is a great chance to influence the development direction of Cytoscape.
We've added a public symposium this year to take advantage of the large number of institutions in the Bay Area with a significant interest in systems biology and the network visualization of biological data. Our goal is to invite presentations to provide attendees with an overview of Cytoscape as a tool and (more importantly) some of the areas of science that it is being applied to.
