The "Computational Modeling in Biology" Network (COMBINE) is an initiative to coordinate
the development of the various community standards and formats in systems biology and
related fields. COMBINE 2016 will be a workshop-style event with oral presentations,
posters, and breakout sessions. The five meeting days will include talks about the COMBINE
standards and associated or related standardization efforts, as well as presentations
of tools using these standards. Oral presentations will be selected from the submitted
