| | Complex nature of biological systems arose from diversity of components and underlying rules, rather than emerging complexity from homogeneity and a few principles in physics and chemistry, characterize biology. This is one of the reasons why sophisticated software science is demanded in cellular simulation projects, unlike the other usual computational science fields like computational physics in which its necessity is relatively neglected. Software science can support the cellular simulation projects in many ways including: sophisticated modeling theory, well-designed software platform, data management methods, project management etc. Among many efforts in E-CELL Project, we will concentrate on design and construction of the software platform in this presentation. |
