4. Example 4 First attempt to run the model, measuring the spiking rate v over time  load SBML into the simulation tool COPASI  use parametrisation as given in the SBML file  define output variables (v)  run the time course 1 ms (standard)100ms1000ms

5. Example 5 Fig.: COPASI simulation, duration: 140ms, step size: 0.14 Second attempt to run the model, adjusting simulation step size and duration

6. Example 6 Fig.: COPASI, adjusted parameter values (a=0.02, b=0.2 c=-55, d=4) Third attempt to run the model, updating initial model parameters

13. SED-ML next version Focus on the integration of “data” with SED- ML, e.g., –experimental data for use in model fitting, parameter estimation –simulation data for testing implementations Adoption of NuML as standard data description format –https://code.google.com/p/numl/https://code.google.com/p/numl/ –XML description of underlying data (initially CSV). –provides a common data abstraction layer for SED-ML to utilise. 13
