== History ==
SysMod was initiated in [[2015]] by [[Nicolas Le Novère]] and co-founded by [[Andreas Dräger]] and Jonathan Karr. The first SysMod meeting was held in [[2016]] at [[Walt Disney World|Disney World]], [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]], FL, in conjunction with the Network Biology (NetBio) workshop<ref name="auto1">{{cite web | url=https://sysmod.info/meetings/sysmod-netbio-2016/ | title=2016 joint SysMod/NetBio meeting @ ISMB }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.iscb.org/ismb2016program/ismb2016-cosi | title=COSI Session }}</ref>. It featured keynote speakers Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Nathan Price, and Ioannis Xenarios<ref>{{cite web | urlname=https:"auto1"//sysmod.info/meetings/sysmod-netbio-2016/ | title=2016 joint SysMod/NetBio meeting @ ISMB }}</ref>. Following the successful launch, the SysMod coordinator team expanded to include Tomáš Helikar, Julio Saez-Rodriguez, and Laurence Calzone. The next meeting took place in [[Prague]] in [[2017]]<ref>{{cite web | url=https://sysmod.info/meetings/sysmod-2017/ | title=2017 SysMod meeting @ ISMB/ECCB }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.iscb.org/ismbeccb2017 | title=Home }}</ref>. When Nicolas Le Novère stepped down, A. Dräger became the ''de facto'' chairman. The meeting was held in [[Chicago]], IL, and the coordinators expanded further with Claudine Chaouiya, Jan Hasenauer, María Rodríguez Martínez, Marc Birtwistle, and Juilee Thakar joining the team. The subsequent meeting was in [[Basel]]. Anna Niarakis and Matteo Barberis joined the coordinators in [[2019]]. Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the meetings were held virtually instead of in [[Montreal]] ([[2020]]) and [[Lyon]] ([[2021]]).<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Niarakis |first1=Anna |last2=Thakar |first2=Juilee |last3=Barberis |first3=Matteo |last4=Rodríguez Martínez |first4=María |last5=Helikar |first5=Tomáš |last6=Birtwistle |first6=Marc |last7=Chaouiya |first7=Claudine |last8=Calzone |first8=Laurence |last9=Dräger |first9=Andreas |author-link9=Andreas Dräger |date=2022-09-22 |year=2022 |title=Computational modelling in health and disease: highlights of the 6th annual SysMod meeting |url=https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btac609 |journal=Bioinformatics |volume=38 |issue=21 |pages=4990–4993 |doi=10.1093/bioinformatics/btac609 |issn=1367-4803 |pmc=9620821}}</ref> After the meeting in [[Madison, Wisconsin|Madison]], WI, in [[2022]] A.
