Simulation Foundations, Methods and Applications,2195-2817Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph1-4471-6761-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Foundations of Modeling -- Agent-based Modeling -- ABMs using Repast Simphony -- Differential Equations -- Mathematical Tools -- Other Stochastic Methods and Prism -- Simulating Biochemical Systems -- Biochemical Models Beyond the Perfect Mixing Assumption -- Reference Material.This accessible text/reference presents a detailed introduction to the use of a wide range of software tools and modeling environments for use in the biosciences, as well as some of the fundamental mathematical background. The practical constraints and difficulties presented by each modeling technique are described in detail, enabling the researcher to determine quickly which software package would be most useful for their particular problem. This Guide to Simulation and Modeling for Biosciences is a fully updated and enhanced revision of the authors’ earlier Introduction to Modeling for Biosciences. Written with the particular needs of the novice modeler in mind, this unique and helpful work guides the reader through realistic and concrete modeling projects, highlighting and commenting on the process of abstracting the real system into a model. Topics and features: Introduces a basic array of techniques to formulate models of biological systems, and to solve them Discusses agent-based models, stochastic modeling techniques, differential equations, spatial simulations, and Gillespie’s stochastic simulation algorithm Provides exercises to help the reader sharpen their understanding of the topics Describes such useful tools as the Maxima algebra system, the PRISM model checker, and the modeling environments Repast Simphony and Smoldyn Contains appendices on rules of differentiation and integration, Maxima and PRISM notation, and some additional mathematical concepts Offers supplementary material at an associated website, including source code for many of the example models discussed in the book Students and active researchers in the biosciences will benefit from the discussions of the high-quality, tried-and-tested modeling tools described in the book, as well as the thorough descriptions and examples.Simulation Foundations, Methods and Applications,2195-2817Computer simulationMathematical modelsBioinformaticsBioinformatics Computational biology Simulation and Modelinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I19000Mathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14068Computational Biology/Bioinformaticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I23050Computer Appl. in Life Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L17004Computer simulation.Mathematical models.Bioinformatics.Bioinformatics .Computational biology .Simulation and Modeling.Mathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematics.Computational Biology/Bioinformatics.Computer Appl. in Life Sciences.570.113Barnes David Jauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut479332Chu Dominiqueauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299204103321Guide to Simulation and Modeling for Biosciences2545679UNINA
