Regarding the contents, I would suggest as initial starting point:
a introduction on the topic explaining the reasoning and foundations of this proposal giving information about participants, needs covering this proposal, objectives and potential results and benefits. That could be a introductory presentation, giving a general overview but focused on gaining the attention of the audience into this initiative.
Quantitative Risk Assessment tools for Food Safety (including predictive microbiology, and others).
A proof of concept (as Mathias has mentioned in other posts), showing some advances or progresses in our initiative. That could be good boost for speeding up the file exchange system between applications. For example, between PMM lab and Microhibro, or others interested in this capability.

Just one suggestion about the headlines...A joint initiative for harmonization of Predictive Microbiology in Foods to enhance model applicability and exchange
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Dear all,
I also concur with the idea of a symposium and I would be please to collaborate in the organization. I felt that there were 2 different ideas. The first one aiming at data exchange protocol discussed during ICPMF8 and remenbered by Jozsef, and a second one proposed by Annemarie focusing on predicitve models.
I was not present at the meeting in Paris, so maybe you have already disccussed about this, but for the first one, I think that it could be of interest to have the feedback of people involved in similar globalization perspectives and data validity as it was the case for Genbank.
For the second one, as underlined by Mathias, proposals accepted for further development should be new, emerging and/or not covered in last 2 years. I think that just focusing on predicitve models will not be sufficient for acceptance regarding the last symposium ” Quantitative Microbiology: Progress, Possibilities and Perspective”. Nevertheless, Annemarie porposed for IAFP US a symposium which could be ”pratical use of predictive models for food professional”. I think this was a good idea. If it was not proposed and/or it was not accepted, we can submit it for IAFP Europe. And I propose to organize and coordinate this one.
At last, Mathias recently announced on behalf of the whole "OpenML for Predictive Modelling in Food" initiative, that the community portal has been set up. I really think that it is a good opportunity to use it and to have (as mentionned by Mathias) discussion as transparent as possible and of course to support the work done by the member of the project administrator team of this forum. Thus I will also put this email on the forum.
Just to remind, the discussion forum can be found at: http://sourceforge.net/p/microbialmodelingexchange/discussion/announcements/thread/9c8f2d6c/
As Fernando informed, I am very grateful to collaborate in this symposium and to participate in the organization of forthcoming topics. Regarding with data exchanging, I think it will be needed at the end to get an harmonization of softwares, but I support the idea of Noémie to gain experience from other colleagues involved in this area (i.e. creation of tools such as the one of Symbiosis could be great). However, I guess we are in a very preliminary stage so that it should be further discussed.
For the symposium on new/emerging predictive modelling approaches I would support a presentation of how to get a practical and efficient use of all tools oriented to food safety responsible. I think it would be good to create a kind of decision map where all interested people learning in predictive microbiology could obtain a quick response of how to solve potential food safety problems by using our current resources. These practical issues would be very interesting to be included in a presentation for the symposium. As an initial attempt we could show how to link a 2-3 software programs and then go on with the rest.
Looking forward to hearing from you
Best wishes
Antonio

I think the themes are appropriate, and speakers, the most adequate. Regarding the third theme or talk, if necessary, it could be "Quantitative Risk Assessment tools for Food Safety"...here some example of applications, use, and potentiality of the use of a common exchange standard could be given.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Theme 1:
A community driven initiative to enhance applicability and exchange of food safety models
Proposed (and some new) talks for that symposia:
An introduction to the "OpenML for Predictive Modelling in Food" initiative (including reports from other domains and proof of concept demonstrations)
The governmental perspective - demand and support for harmonization initiatives (e.g. EFSA)
New resources for food safety modelling - an update to the 2013 IAFP QMRA symposia (including predictive microbiology, ComBase, results from EU projects etc.)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Just a short update:
the work on a proposal for "Theme 1" is on track and by now the following talks are in discussion:
1.: "An introduction to the Predictive Modelling in Food Markup Language initiative" - Matthias Filter
2.: "Demand and support for harmonization initiatives - the governmental perspective" - Kostas Koutsoumanis
3.: "Towards the exploitation of Big Data in the field of food safety" - József Baranyi
4.: Discussion

First of all, I would like to thank Matthias for the summary of the proposed topics and idea, that are now clearly gathered into 2 relevant symposia: “A community driven initiative to enhance applicability and exchange of food safety models” and “Practical use of predictive models for food professional”. As already mentioned, I'm very enthusiastic by being one of the organizer for the second one. Antonio, as you seem as well very interested in, why not being both the two organizers for that symposium? I will be so pleased by such collaboration! And there are more or less always two organizers.
The idea related to create a decision map showing a first link between 2-3 representative software programs will provide a relevant illustration to the users. I take as well the opportunity to suggest the following program:
-Prediction of Microbial safety in meat product
-Baseline and MicroHibro
-Sym'Previus
It will be easy to show the link with clear examples between these softwares, focusing on FBO needs and expectations.
Annemarie, Fernando and Antonio, will you be happy to work together on that?
Looking forward to hear from you,
Kind regards,
Noémie
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I think that Noémie and Matthias are the most adequate people for leading both symposia with the proposed topics. So, go a head and count on me for supporting both in organization, looking for speakers or even if appropriate as presenter myself. Apart from this, the idea of decision map for predictive microbiology software use is great, and results can be of interested for model users or microbial risk assessors. However, limiting the decision map development to only two or three software tools could lead to ignore software tools such as PMP or Combase predictors, and Combase Data base among others. They contribute with an important information piece in the predictive model puzzle, covering areas which other applications don't do. Therefore, although we can base the illustration with the three software tools, we should also consider others, and integrate them in the decision map. For example, it is clear that our tools are limited to certain pathogens and spoilage microorganisms, and in some cases, no appropriate (validated) models are available for a certain hazard/food pair or microbial process (inactivation, growth, transfer). In such cases, users should move on to other models or data bases from which they could take the information to support the decision or even to carry out a more step-wise approach with different software tools integrated in the decision making process. In other cases, data from data-bases could be used to generate new models, using PMM lab or Dmfit, and then implemented in MIcrohibro/SYmprevious/SSSP(or FSSP) or other similar software by users. In other cases, a preliminary evaluation on growth/nogrowth is needed rather than growth rate predictions, and such cases, MRV could be the most appropriate tool. If growth is reported, users should move on to other software tool to make predictions. A similar idea was also raised by Panos in some previous talks in Paris. In other conversations, with people working for European Food Safety Authority, they seem to converge to this idea to unify software in an more applicable and interactive way, developing an integration tool to support decisions or guide users regarding the use of models and software. For that, there are well-known software development theories and heuristic methodologies. So, I strongly support the idea of the decision mapping for software use, and the proposal of use the three software tools. However, I would also provide a more general perspective with other software. I volunteer to develop preliminary decision tree based on available software, but more focused on the three ones. That work is also rooted/derived in the foundation or bases of the present discussion group and could be an goal itself for us/initiative. That means that the development of this goal would be independent from the approval of the symposium, but useful for the symposium if accepted. The only problem is that we should find time to develop it, and I will try to make the initial steps in this, if you agree with my reasoning and you think that it is useful.
Best regards

Thanks for your feedback and sorry for the delay of response. Of course showing a general perspective with various software will be better than doing that with only 3. As mentioned the problem is to find time to develop it, however by joining our effort we can have this for IAFP and/or for the group initiative.
I will come back to you during this day for the IAFP abstract and we can discuss about.
Thank you for your support!

The use of predictive models, which was originally the reserve of scientists, is now spread to industry, academia, international organizations and governments through computing tools providing a fast and reliable decision-making process for food safety and quality. These tools, usually web-based applications, cover a range of applications such as the prediction of microbial behavior during food processes and storage conditions, shelf-life prediction, performance and validation of sampling plans, and quantitative risk assessment.
The aim of this symposium is to discuss practical use of these computing tools and how to facilitate them to meet food business operator needs and expectations. In order to facilitate a suitable application of available predictive microbiology tools, a decision map will be presented as guidance for end-users. Then applied example will be presented and will show how end-users could easily face food microbiological safety and quality aspects by using these tools.
Potential speakers:
First speaker: Fernando Perez-Rodriguez: 20’ (University of Cordoba, E)
A decision map guiding end-users on how to solve food safety and quality issues using available predictive microbiology tools
Third speaker: Antonio Valero Diaz: 20’ (University of Cordoba, E)
Predictive tools and strategies for establishing risk-based Microbiological Criteria in foods
Second speaker: Annemarie Gunvig: 20’ (Danish Meat Research Institute, DK)
Mathematical models predicting safety and shelf-life of meat
Fourth speaker: Noémie Desriac: 20’ (ADRIA, Fr)
A web based tool for a tailor made prediction of the microbial behavior during food processes and shelf-life

Dear all,
as the application deadline is approaching fast I would like to make the following proposal:
The proposed subjects and talks could indeed be assigned to two independent symposium themes:
Theme 1:
"A community driven initiative to enhance applicability and exchange of food safety models" (I would volunteer to take the lead)
Theme 2:
”Pratical use of predictive models for food professional” (Noémie Desriac suggested to take the lead)
I will post a summary of ideas brought up in previous posts in a separate post for each theme.
I think the themes are appropriate, and speakers, the most adequate. Regarding the third theme or talk, if necessary, it could be "Quantitative Risk Assessment tools for Food Safety"...here some example of applications, use, and potentiality of the use of a common exchange standard could be given.
