November 6,7 and 9, 2007: Developers retreat
Department of
Human Genetics, Academic Medical Center
University of Amsterdam, Netherlands
We are pleased to announce the opening of registration for the forthcoming 2007 Cytoscape Symposium and Retreat to be held at the Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands on 6-9 Nov 2007. Registration is now possible at:
http://www.cytoscape.org/retreat2007
This years meeting is particularly exciting since it is the
first time it will be held in Europe, specifically in the vibrant
historic city
of Amsterdam. 'Floating' on a web
of canals, with its unique combination of old-world charm and
cosmopolitan
culture, Amsterdam is one of the most popular European cities for
international
visitors.
To reach Cytoscape's large European user base a Public
Symposium will be held on November 8th for which there is a formidable
list of
confirmed speakers. In addition to the Public Symposium the retreat consists of
hands-on
demo's, user-training sessions and
informal, technically focused developer meetings:
The Symposium on Thursday 8th November is of general interest to both biologists and informaticians. Current and future users of Cytoscape are invited to visit the Application showcase on the 7th also. The developers days are targeted to people with an interest in the development of the Cytoscape software and associated plugins.
We hope that you can join us!

About Cytoscape:
Cytoscape (www.cytoscape.org)
is an open source bioinformatics software platform for visualizing
molecular
interaction networks and integrating these interactions
with
gene expression profiles and other state data. The software
architecture enables
adaptation of Cytoscape functionality to the specific needs of biologists
and bioinformaticians. It 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),
Annette Adler (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) and Bruce Conklin
(Gladstone/UCSF,
GenMAPP).
