VICE: A VIrtual CEll
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the specification and analysis of VICE, a hypothetical cell with a genome as basic as possible. We used an enhanced version of the π-calculus and a prototype running it to study the behaviour of VICE. The results of our experimentation in silico confirm that our virtual cell “survives” in an optimal environment and shows a behaviour similar to that of real prokaryotes.

متن کاملFeedbacks and Oscillations in the Virtual Cell VICE
We analyse an enhanced specification of VICE, a hypothetical prokaryote with a genome as basic as possible. Besides the most common metabolic pathways of prokaryotes in interphase, VICE also posseses a regulatory feedback circuit based on the enzyme phosphofructokinase. We use as formal description language a fragment of the stochastic π-calculus. Simulations are run on BEAST, an abstract machi...
متن کاملA genetic algorithm for a bi-objective mathematical model for dynamic virtual cell formation problem
Nowadays, with the increasing pressure of the competitive business environment and demand for diverse products, manufacturers are force to seek for solutions that reduce production costs and rise product quality. Cellular manufacturing system (CMS), as a means to this end, has been a point of attraction to both researchers and practitioners. Limitations of cell formation problem (CFP), as one o...

متن کاملCell forming and cell balancing of virtual cellular manufacturing systems with alternative processing routes using genetic algorithm
Cellular manufacturing (CM) is one of the most important subfields in the design of manufacturing systems and as a recently emerged field of study and practice, virtual cellular manufacturing (VCM) inherits the importance from CM. One type of VCM problems is VCM with alternative processing routes from which the route for processing each part should be selected. In this research, a bi-objective ...
