COMBINE

COMBINE, the COmputational Modeling in BIology NEtwork, is an initiative to coordinate the development of the various community standards and formats for computational models, initially in systems biology and related fields.

The first COMBINE meeting was organised by Igor Goryanin and held at the University of Edinburgh School of Informatics in October 2010.

[3] The COMBINE initiative aims to coordinate the development of community standards and formats for computational modelling, particularly in systems biology.

In doing so, it is expected a set of complementary but non-overlapping standards will be developed, covering all aspects of computational modelling in all areas of biology.

[4] The associated standardisation efforts are MIRIAM, SBO, KiSAO and the BioModels.net model repository.
