The scope of the workshop was to provide as overview of the current state of neuroinformatics training and recommendations for future provision of training. The report presents a summary of the workshop discussions and recommendations to the INCF. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2008.2563.1 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:19:26 UTC 1st INCF Workshop on Needs for Training in Neuroinformatics doi:10.1038/npre.2008.2563.1 2008-11-26 David Willshaw Nature Precedings 2008-11-26T12:19:26Z Manuscript Neuroscience Bioinformatics http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2008.1983.1 The goal of the workshop was to discuss issues related to the sustainability of neuroscience databases, identify problems and propose solutions, and formulate recommendations to the INCF. The report summarizes the discussions of invited participants from the neuroinformatics community as well as from other disciplines where sustainability issues have already been approached. The recommendations for the INCF involve rating, ranking, and supporting database sustainability. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2008.1983.1 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 10:45:30 UTC 1st INCF Workshop on Sustainability of Neuroscience Databases doi:10.1038/npre.2008.1983.1 2008-06-18 Jack Van Horn Nature Precedings 2008-06-18T10:45:30Z Manuscript Neuroscience Bioinformatics http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2008.1830.1 MUSIC is an API allowing large scale neuron simulators using MPI internally to exchange data during runtime. MUSIC provides mechanisms to transfer massive amounts of event information and continuous values from one parallel application to another. Special care has been taken to ensure that existing simulators can be adapted to MUSIC. In particular, MUSIC handles data transfer between applications that use different time steps and different data allocation strategies. This RFC – Request For Comments – document invites comments on the proposed design and prototype specifications. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2008.1830.1 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:43:12 UTC MUSIC – Multisimulation Coordinator: Request For Comments doi:10.1038/npre.2008.1830.1 2008-04-24 Örjan Ekeberg Nature Precedings 2008-04-24T20:43:12Z Manuscript Neuroscience Bioinformatics http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2008.1780.1 The goal of this workshop was to agree on a general strategy for developing a systematic, useful, and scientifically appropriate framework for neuroanatomical nomenclature. The workshop focused on general principles that will serve as a basis for future decisions on implementation strategies. The report discusses the problems arising from the use of different parcellation schemes and use of different terminologies and highlights the need of a universal vocabulary for describing the structural organization of the nervous system. Workshop participants encourage the creation of an International Coordinating Committee for Neuroanatomical Nomenclature and propose short- and long-term goals for such a committee. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2008.1780.1 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 17:23:59 UTC 1st INCF Workshop on Neuroanatomical Nomenclature and Taxonomy doi:10.1038/npre.2008.1780.1 2008-04-08 Mihail Bota Nature Precedings 2008-04-08T17:23:59Z Manuscript Neuroscience Bioinformatics http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2008.1781.1 The goal of this meeting was to map existing neuroimaging databases, particularly databases containing primary data, and to identify mechanisms that could facilitate integrated use of such databases, including possible fusion of databases. The report provides an overview of existing neuroimaging databases that were discussed during the workshop and examines the feasibility of database federations. The report includes several recommendations for future developments. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2008.1781.1 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 17:22:13 UTC 1st INCF Workshop on NeuroImaging Database Integration doi:10.1038/npre.2008.1781.1 2008-04-08 Lars Forsberg Nature Precedings 2008-04-08T17:22:13Z Manuscript Neuroscience Bioinformatics http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2008.1779.1 The goal of this meeting was to map out existing portal services for neuroscience, identify their features and future plans, and outline opportunities for synergistic developments. The workshop discussed alternative formats of future global and integrated portal services. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2008.1779.1 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 17:17:22 UTC 1st INCF Workshop on Global Portal Services for Neuroscience doi:10.1038/npre.2008.1779.1 2008-04-08 Jaap van Pelt Nature Precedings 2008-04-08T17:17:22Z Manuscript Neuroscience Bioinformatics http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
