Two application needs based on OpenTox components that have surfaced:

a. an application allowing user choice on algorithm and parameters for 
creating a validated model

b. an application/workflow supporting automated extensive 
parameter/algorithm variation to produce an optimed model based on 
user-supplied criteria

Let us know if you are interested!
