The workshop recommended to:
• Arrange an annual workshop on large-scale modeling with the aim of  
developing standards for improving reusability of software.
• Implement a standard simulator test suite.
• Implement an experimental framework for connecting software  
components: this will be contracted out.
• Develop publication guidelines for ensuring the reproducibility of  
simulations.
• Encourage, support and fund work on method development within  
computational neuroscience.
• Encourage, support and fund the production of publications on  
concepts and techniques for large-scale simulations.
