Re: [SOSlib-devel] SBML meeting (fwd)

[Rainer M. <ra...@tb...>]

Hi James and Stefan,

you asked about a possible short SOSlib presentation at the SBML meeting.
Below you find some suggestions by Michael Hucka about topics potentially 
interesting for the audience there.

The first point is about implemented features. So maybe we can make a few 
nice slides about forward sensitivity and the adjoint stuff, i.e. 
sensitivity gradients. Maybe we can show how easy it is to do an 
iteration towards a local minimum? Could we use some of your (James) work 
on cell cycle or circadian models for this?

Ok, at this point, I decided to Cc this email to the SOSlib development 
list. Do people have suggestions what could be interesting for other 
users?

Akira, please see Michael's last point. What could we say about this 
point?

And Xtof, maybe we should warm up our idea about the developer and 
user survey and feedback request for the second point in Michael's list:
most used existing functionalities and most wanted non-existing features, 
to make a priority queue not only for exact event detection but also 
for our TODO list, see

Hi Rainer,

Here are just a few ideas:

- A quick survey of the features implemented, solver used,
   the fact that there is a web service, etc.

- Discuss the limitations, e.g. with respect to handling
   events, delays (and also ideas for what needs to be done
   to overcome the limitations, if someone wanted to make a
   contribution to SOSlib's development)

- Experiences with embedding SOSlib in other applications
   such as CellDesigner
