A Hybrid Approach to Modeling Biological Systems

摘要

This paper investigates a hybrid approach to modeling molecular interactions in biology. P systems, 7r-calculus, and Petri nets models, and two tools, Daikon, used in software reverse-engineering, and PRISM, a probabilistic model checker, are investigated for their expressiveness and complementary roles in describing and analyzing biological systems. A simple case study illustrates this approach.
