Modeling in Systems Biology
by Falk Schreiber Ina Koch Wolfgang ReisigThe emerging, multi-disciplinary field of systems biology is devoted to the study of the relationships between various parts of a biological system, and computer modeling plays a vital role in the drive to understand the processes of life from an holistic viewpoint. Advancements in experimental technologies in biology and medicine have generated an enormous amount of biological data on the dependencies and interactions of many different molecular cell processes, fueling the development of numerous computational methods for exploring this data. The mathematical formalism of Petri net theory is able to encompass many of these techniques. This essential text/reference presents a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge research in applications of Petri nets in systems biology, with contributions from an international selection of experts. Those unfamiliar with the field are also provided with a general introduction to systems biology, the foundations of biochemistry, and the basics of Petri net theory. Further chapters address Petri net modeling techniques for building and analyzing biological models, as well as network prediction approaches, before reviewing the applications to networks of different biological classification. Topics and features: investigates the modular, qualitative modeling of regulatory networks using Petri nets, and examines an Hybrid Functional Petri net simulation case study; contains a glossary of the concepts and notation used in the book, in addition to exercises at the end of each chapter; covers the topological analysis of metabolic and regulatory networks, the analysis of models of signaling networks, and the prediction of network structure; provides a biological case study on the conversion of logical networks into Petri nets; discusses discrete modeling, stochastic modeling, fuzzy modeling, dynamic pathway modeling, genetic regulatory network modeling, and quantitative analysis techniques; includes a Foreword by Professor Jens Reich, Professor of Bioinformatics at Humboldt University and Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in Berlin. This unique guide to the modeling of biochemical systems using Petri net concepts will be of real utility to researchers and students of computational biology, systems biology, bioinformatics, computer science, and biochemistry.

Modeling of Regional Atmospheric Pollution
by Laurent MenutThis book describes the main concepts used to develop and implement chemistry-transport models to calculate the evolution of regional air pollution. Since physico-chemical principles are already widely presented in various works, the perspective chosen for this book concerns the modeling of these processes. As modeling can be a simplification of reality in a particular study framework, we will try to show whether the processes represented are well modeled or not. For each process, we will discuss the simplifying assumptions that have been made, the various possible ways for improvement and the impact of these simplifications on the desired results. General information on pollution is presented, followed by observations, legislation, modeling of meteorology and then chemistry-transport, anthropogenic and natural emissions, depots, validation of calculations, optimization and data assimilation.

Modeling, Analysis and Optimization of Network-on-Chip Communication Architectures
by Umit Y. Ogras Radu MarculescuTraditionally, design space exploration for Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) has focused on the computational aspects of the problem at hand. However, as the number of components on a single chip and their performance continue to increase, the communication architecture plays a major role in the area, performance and energy consumption of the overall system. As a result, a shift from computation-based to communication-based design becomes mandatory. Towards this end, network-on-chip (NoC) communication architectures have emerged recently as a promising alternative to classical bus and point-to-point communication architectures. In this dissertation, we study outstanding research problems related to modeling, analysis and optimization of NoC communication architectures. More precisely, we present novel design methodologies, software tools and FPGA prototypes to aid the design of application-specific NoCs.

Sie wollen ins Tun kommen? Dies wollten wir auch – daher haben wir diese Anleitung zur Anwendung des subjektorientierten Denkmodells zur Entwicklung von Systemen geschrieben. Wir stellen alle entsprechenden Modellierungselemente und ihre Verwendung schrittweise vor, ebenso wie die Techniken, mit denen diese Modelle implementiert werden können. Schließlich leiten wir Sie an, wie sie sich einer Managementstruktur für die Erstellung komplexer subjektorientierter Systeme konstruktiv, weil auf Basis der natürlichen Sprache, bedienen können. Dies ist ein Open-Access-Buch.
