Simulation Environment for Multiscale and Multiphysics Biological Function Modeling

摘要

The biological simulation systems which simulate biological functions of cells and organs are expected to bring new aspects to the biomedical area. As the biological system involves multiple phenomena and has hierarchical structure, programming environment for the biological simulation system should provide such multiphysical and multiscale descriptions. In this paper, we propose a simulation environment for the biological simulation systems which is designed on the object oriented paradigm, and incorporates XML based model description format, and also has a parameter optimization system. Example implementation of the myocardiac cell model and the left ventricle are explained to show the efficiency of our system.
