| Name | Institution | Project(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Frank Bergmann | University of Washington, USA | SBW |
| Researchers in quantitative systems biology make use of a large number of different software packages for modeling, analysis, visualization, and general data manipulation. The Systems Biology Workbench (SBW,http://sys-bio.org ) is a software framework that allows heterogeneous application components to communicate and re-use each others' capabilities. SBW is a simple, high performance, open-source software infrastructure which is easy to implement and understand. SBW is also a collection of tools for Systems Biology encompassing the areas of modeling, simulation and visualization of biochemical networks. Main applications include: Jarnac, JDesigner for modeling and analysis and roadRunner for high performance simulations. I am also one of the SBML Editors.

| Stefan Hoops | Virginia Tech, USA | COPASI, SBML |
| COPASI. I am also one of the SBML Editors.
| ||
| Bin Hu | Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA | BioNetGen |
| BioNetGen is a rule-based modeling software for studying complex biological system. It has its own model definition language. We are contributing to the development of the multistate multicomponent species package of the coming SBML level 3. Hopefully this new package can provide a new option for modelers to share rule-based models. | ||
| Michael Hucka | California Institute of Technology, USA | SBML, BioModels.net |
| I lead the the SBML Team and am Chair of the SBML Editors. My main work involves developing SBML, supporting SBML development and the SBML community, evangelizing SBML, organizing SBML-related workshops, maintaining all aspects of SBML.org, working on software (including libSBML, the SBML Test Suite and the SBML Demonstrator), and other activities.

| Catherine Lloyd | University of Auckland, New Zealand | CellML |
| CellML has evolved as a solution to the problems of inconsistencies between computational and published models. CellML offers an unambiguous method of defining models of cellular function in a format that is both human and machine readable. It allows models to be exchanged across the Web, and shared among modellers, independent of modelling software. The CellML project started in 1999 – around the same time as SBML. The range of models described in CellML overlaps with those described in SBML, however the languages have different emphases: • “SBML is designed for representing models of biochemical reaction networks”. (http://www.sbml.org/) • “The purpose of CellML is to store and exchange computer-based mathematical models”. (http://www.cellml.org/)

| Curtis Madsen | University of Utah, USA | iBioSim |
| I am involved with the development of iBioSim. iBioSim has been developed for the analysis of biochemical reaction network models. While the primary target of iBioSim is models of genetic circuits, models representing metabolic networks, cell-signaling pathways, and other biological and chemical systems can also be analyzed.

| Chris Myers | University of Utah, USA | iBioSim |
| We are developing the iBioSim tool for the modeling, analysis, and design of genetic circuits.

| Anika Oellrich | EMBL-EBI, UK | StochSim |
| SBML multi package & StochSim.
| ||
| Brett Olivier | VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands | PySCeS |
| My current project involves extension of constraint based modelling to ecosystems. I also continue to maintain PySCes.
| ||
| Robert Phair | Integrative Bioinformatics Inc., USA | Integrative Bioinformatics |
| Our company is a scientific consulting firm specialized in kinetic modeling of biological systems from single cells to human physiology. Our NIH-supported software, ProcessDB, is designed as an interface between experimentalists and modelers. It supports SBML import so that our clients can leverage existing models from the BioModels database.
| ||
| Nicolas Rodriguez | EMBL-EBI, UK | SBMLeditor |
| SBMLeditor - a very simple, but complete tool, to create models in the SBML format. Biomodels database - a data resource that allows biologists to store, search and retrieve published mathematical models of biological interests. SBML converters - a set a tools to convert an SBML file to XPP, BioPax, Scilab, CellML, dot or SVG.

| Takeshi Sakurada | Keio University, Japan | E-Cell |
| E-Cell IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a GUI application that aims to support development of diverse biological models. It consists of three major components, pathway designer, simulator and analytical toolkit that are tightly integrated with each other.

| COPASI. I am also one of the SBML Editors.
| ||
| Jim Schaff | University of Connecticut Health Center, USA | VCell |
| VCell (Virtual Cell) is a <mostly> SBML compliant modeling/simulation tool for compartmental and spatial modeling of biochemical/electrophysiological systems. Our group is active in the Hierarchical Modeling, Multicomponent, and Spatial modeling Level 3 extensions.

| Lucian Smith | University of Washington, USA | Antimony |
| Antimony is a modular (or 'hierarchical') model definition language intended to be both human-readable and human-writable. libAntimony provides an API that allows other programs to read and convert antimony files and strings. Our latest development is QTAntimony, an editor for translating antimony to SBML and visa-versa.
| ||
| Ty Thomson | Plectix BioSystems, USA | Cellucidate |
