Special issue on neural network simulation in Network: Computation in
Neural Systems

Editors:

Simulation of neural models is increasingly used in neuroscience. It
raises a number of issues, such as: how to efficiently simulate large
networks, how to describe and share models that are based on different
simulators, how to constrain and handle large parameter spaces, and how
to cope with the complexity and variety of biological models.
In this special issue of Network: Computation in Neural Systems
(http://informahealthcare.com/loi/net), we are inviting original
research contributions, reviews, and perspectives on all topics relevant
to the simulation of biological neural networks. Topics of interest
include but are not limited to:
* Simulation algorithms
* Data structures
* Parallel processing, for example on graphics cards
* Standardization, interfacing, model sharing
* Analysis and interpretation of simulated data

Contributions of reviews or perspectives should be proposed to Romain
Brette (romain.brette@ens.fr) prior to submission.

Manuscripts should be submitted online via
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ncns, mentioning the special issue in
the cover letter.

Manuscript submission due: 17.06.2012
First review completed: 31.07.2012
Revised manuscript due: 07.09.2012
Second review completed, final decisions to authors: 05.10.2012
Final manuscript due: 12.10.2012
Publication date: 07.12.2012
