OpenCMISS is an open source project to redevelop the CMISS computational modelling package. The project aims to update CMISS with modern features - making it modular, extendable, easier to understand, and able to run on modern distributed-memory high performace computers. The original CMISS programme was started by Peter Hunter in 1980 in the Department of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (TAM) at the University of Auckland and had major early contributions from Poul Nielsen and Andrew McCulloch. The many later contributors are listed on www.cmiss.org. The development of OpenCMISS, begun in 2005 with funding from the Wellcome Trust, has been led by Chris Bradley in Auckland and Oxford. Since 2008 this work has evolved into a major collaborative project between the groups based at King's College London and Auckland with input from partners in Barcelona, Oslo, Oxford, Sheffield and Stuttgart, funded by both European and national level research funding agencies. For the list of contributors to OpenCMISS see under 'About'.
