  17. Strategy: 1. Develop MLs for encoding models 2. Develop libraries of open source tools 3. Develop model repositories based on MLs 4. Implement collaborative project environments 5. Implement workflows based on web services

  18. FieldML & Cmgui

  19. CellML (www.cellml.org) PoulNielsen • CellML models include information about: • model structurehow the parts of a model are related to one another • mathematics(MathML)equations describing the underlying processes • metadata(RDF)additional information about the model that allows scientists to search for specific models or model components in a database or other repository

  20. Model repository (www.cellml.org/models)

  21. CellML Tools (www.cellml.org/tools) (a) Model components & metadata (b) MathML editor Cmgui (c) Graphical display (d) Simulation software

  22. Summary • The Physiome project is about: • Models that capture patient-specific geometry(link to clinical imaging) • Multi-physics models based on biophysical mechanisms(can use power of physical constraints) • Constitute laws based on tissue microstructure(only way to deal with spatial variation) • Multi-scale models that link to proteins(can link to disease & drug action) • We need: • Open source software • Markup language standards for encoding models • Web accessible model databases • HPC & grid-enabled tools for collaboration
