DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This grant application is designed to help the researchers who have been developing emerging community standards in computational systems biology to travel to the R. D. Berlin Center for Cell Analysis and Modeling in Farmington, CT, which will host the Hackathon on Resources in Modeling in Biology (HARMONY) 2013 meeting. The focus is on four core community-accepted languages, standards and ontologies used in biological modeling and data analysis (SBML, BioPAX, SBGN, and SED-ML), whose communities of users and developers have joined forces as part of the Computational Modeling in Biology network (COMBINE). The main purpose of the conference is to improve interoperability between formats and to jump-start efforts to address newly identified unmet needs or critical gaps in coverage. The HARMONY meetings have emerged as an invaluable venue for hashing out concrete high priority issues and devise new solutions for apparent stumbling blocks, with face-to-face meetings and hands-on participation of leaders in the field. The conference will bring together leading scientists and software developers, experts in biological modeling, bioinformatics and computer science, who are actively involved in the development of standards and/or the software tools and repositories that use them. A large part of the meeting will consist of hackathon-style parallel tracks of working groups that are tasked to address concrete problems and to produce deliverables such as draft specifications and/or prototype implementations. We wish to emphasize that most of the leading members of the different groups of the COMBINE network serve as volunteers and do not have dedicated funding for this activity, which is nonetheless crucial to the scientific community. It is importan that as many as possible of these researchers are present at the HARMONY conference. We are striving to maintain the cost of attending to a minimum and we will be able to organize the meeting without charging any registration fee. However, no support is available to directly defray the costs of travel for participants, which often does make up for most of the financial burden to attend meetings that have a global audience. We are therefore requesting funds to partially defray the travel costs for some of the key participants to the conference.

描述（由申请人提供）：该赠款申请旨在帮助正在开发计算系统生物学中新兴社区标准的研究人员前往康涅狄格州法明顿的R. D. Berlin细胞分析和建模中心，该中心将在2013年的生物学建模（Harmony）会议上托管Hackathon Hackathon。重点是在生物建模和数据分析中使用的四种核心社区所接受的语言，标准和本体（SBML，Biopax，SBGN和SED-ML），其用户和开发人员的社区已与生物学网络计算建模（COMBINE）合作。会议的主要目的是提高格式之间的互操作性，并开始努力解决新近确定的未满足需求或覆盖范围的关键差距。和谐会议已成为散列具体优先问题的宝贵场所，并为明显的绊脚石设计了新的解决方案，面对面的会议和领导者的动手参加。该会议将汇集主要的科学家和软件开发人员，生物建模，生物信息学和计算机科学专家，他们积极参与了使用它们的标准和/或软件工具和存储库的制定。会议的很大一部分将包括负责为任务的工作组的黑客式平行轨道 解决具体问题并产生可交付成果，例如草稿规格和/或原型实施。我们希望强调，联合网络不同群体的大多数主要成员都是志愿者，并且对这项活动没有专门的资金，这对科学界仍然至关重要。重要的是，在和谐会议上，尽可能多的研究人员出现。我们正在努力维持最低要素的费用，我们将能够组织会议，而无需收取任何注册费。但是，没有任何支持可以直接支付参与者的旅行费用，这通常会弥补参加具有全球受众的会议的大部分财务负担。因此，我们要求资金部分支付会议的一些主要参与者的旅行费用。
