Graphical Modeling Meets Systems Pharmacology
نویسندگان
چکیده
A main source of failures in systems projects (including systems pharmacology) is poor communication level and different expectations among the stakeholders. A common and not ambiguous language that is naturally comprehensible by all the involved players is a boost to success. We present bStyle, a modeling tool that adopts a graphical language close enough to cartoons to be a common media to exchange ideas and data and that it is at the same time formal enough to enable modeling, analysis, and dynamic simulations of a system. Data analysis and simulation integrated in the same application are fundamental to understand the mechanisms of actions of drugs: a core aspect of systems pharmacology.

Design of Semantic Information Systems using a Model-based Approach
The use of social and semantic technologies in business demands an optimal balance between business requirements and technological opportunities. Therefore, the usage of modelbased approaches to pre-assess the added value of such semantic information systems is of high importance. In this paper we extend an e-business modeling framework to integrate business aspects with social interaction and ...
متن کاملModel-Driven Development of Graphical Tools - Fujaba Meets GMF
In this paper we describe and evaluate our combination of the Fujaba CASE-Tool with the Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) of the Eclipse IDE. We created an operational model with Fujaba and used it as input for a GMF editor generation process. This allows us to introduce a new approach for generating fully operational models including graphical editors for model representation and transformati...
متن کاملERC+: an object+relationship paradigm for database applications
The concepts of object oriented data models aim towards modeling of application objects close to the user's view. Yet developers of applications relying on object oriented database management systems are facing problems resulting from the limitations of object oriented data models to describe adequately the full range of possible associations between objects and between processes. This paper fo...
متن کاملPromise and Reality in the Expanding Field of Network Interaction Analysis: Metabolic Networks
In the last few decades, metabolic networks revealed their capabilities as powerful tools to analyze the cellular metabolism. Many research fields (eg, metabolic engineering, diagnostic medicine, pharmacology, biochemistry, biology and physiology) improved the understanding of the cell combining experimental assays and metabolic network-based computations. This process led to the rise of the "s...
متن کاملAMGET, an R-Based Postprocessing Tool for ADAPT 5
ADAPT 5 is a powerful modeling software for population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic systems analysis, but provides limited built-in functionality for creating pre- and post-analysis diagnostic plots. ADAPT 5 Model Evaluation Graphical Toolkit (AMGET), an external package written in the open source R programming language, was developed specifically to support efficient postprocessing of A...
