First Steps in Computational Systems Biology: A Practical Session in Metabolic Modeling and Simulation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Reyes-Palomares, Armando; Sanchez-Jimenez, Francisca; Medina, Miguel Angel – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2009
A comprehensive understanding of biological functions requires new systemic perspectives, such as those provided by systems biology. Systems biology approaches are hypothesis-driven and involve iterative rounds of model building, prediction, experimentation, model refinement, and development. Developments in computer science are allowing for ever…

COED Transactions, Vol. XI, No. 3, March 1979. LSSP: An Educational Aid to the Study of Linear System Dynamics.
Mitchell, Eugene E., Ed. – 1979
The study of the dynamics of physical systems is of importance to all engineering students. LSSP, a Linear System Simulation Program, is used to study the behavior of physical phenomena and systems which may be represented to a good degree of approximation by linear models. Emphasis is placed upon the unity resulting from the mathematical…

Simulation in Science Education
Dean, Peter G. – Programmed Learning & Educational Technology, 1973
There are many educational situations where the student learns by using a model and we are beginning to explore the benefits of using an interactive computer to give a greater understanding of the relationship between the model and the real situation, and also of the real situation. Article gives a broad introduction to applications in the field…

A Diffusion of Rumor Example Demonstrating the Characteristics of Computer Simulation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Aburdene, Maurice F. – CoED, 1982
Develops Volterra model for spread of information in group analytically and by simulation and compares characteristics of both methods. Topics of modeling, equilibrium, linearization, stability, error analysis, and parameter identification are incorporated in obtaining the solutions. (SK)

The Spectrum of Mathematical Models.
Karplus, Walter J. – Perspectives in Computing, 1983
Mathematical modeling problems encountered in many disciplines are discussed in terms of the modeling process and applications of models. The models are classified according to three types of abstraction: continuous-space-continuous-time, discrete-space-continuous-time, and discrete-space-discrete-time. Limitations in different kinds of modeling…

Ecology: A Simulation Model for Small Populations of Animals.
Grier, James W. – Creative Computing, 1980
The development of a mathematics model to simulate small animal populations is described. Assumptions of the population model and options in the program are discussed. (MK)
