CodeJam #9 will be held in Palermo, Italy. Venue: Grand Hotel Et Des Palmes, Palermo, Italy Description: The theme of this CodeJam #9 is "co-design": scientists, students and engineers from different disciplines collaborating to build research infrastructure for computation-based neuroscience, and to use this infrastructure to model brain circuits, behaviour and learning, develop novel bio-inspired computing systems, and help discover new drugs for neurological disorders. The general format of the workshops is to dedicate the mornings to invited and contributed talks, leaving the afternoons free for discussions, tutorials and code sprints. The goal of the CodeJam workshops is to catalyze open-source, collaborative software development in computational and systems neuroscience and neuroinformatics, by bringing together researchers, students and engineers to share ideas, present their work, and write code together. Programme Committee Luca L. Bologna (CNR), Andrew Davison (CNRS), Eric Müller (UHEI), Jeff Muller (EPFL), Bernd Schuller (JUELICH) Organisers Luca L. Bologna (CNR), Alessia Bonafede (CNR) Martina Schmalholz (UHEI) Registration fee: The registration fee of €350 will cover the venue location and catering costs. Accommodation: Accommodation is NOT included. Please book your own accommodation.
