摘要:
A method of conducting a sequence of linked simulation operations, utilizing a computer-based simulation model, commences with the performance of a first simulation operation to generate an output condition. A further simulation operation, which is defined to sequentially follow the first simulation operation, is then formed utilizing the simulation model. The second simulation operation at least partially and automatically inherits the output condition generated by the first simulation operation as an input condition. In this way, the second simulation operation commences with a configuration captured from a preceding simulation operation as an input condition. Multiple simulation operations may at least partially inherit a configuration from the first simulation operation.

An apparatus and method for validating a computer model is described. In one embodiment, a computer-readable medium comprises instructions to associate a set of configurations of a computer model with a stimulus-response test, each configuration of the set of configurations representing a different model scenario, the stimulus-response test defining a modification to each configuration of the set of configurations. The computer-readable medium also comprises instructions to apply the stimulus-response test to the set of configurations to produce a simulated response for each configuration of the set of configurations and instructions to compare the simulated responses for the set of configurations with an expected response to the stimulus-response test.

A method of generating a display, or representation, of a simulation model within a graphical user interface (GUI) is described. The simulation model includes a number of objects, which may include state, function, link and modifier objects. The method commences with the display of node representations for at least first and second objects. Thereafter, a link representation, which represents an underlying link object, is selected from a predefined set of link representations to represent a desired relationship condition between the first and second objects. Each link representation of the set is associated with a distinct relationship condition. Each relationship condition may further be defined in terms of an underlying equation. Thereafter, the selected link representation is shown to extend between the respective node representations representing the first and second objects. Thus, the type of relationship condition which exists between the first and second objects is apparent from the link representation which extends between the relevant node representations.

The present invention relates generally to a computer model of an adaptive immune response. One embodiment of the invention relates to a computer model of an adaptive immune response within the framework of signals conveyed at the site of antigen exposure. Another embodiment of the model includes a representation of complex physiological regulatory mechanisms related to, for example, cellular dynamics, mediator production, antigen-presenting cell (APC) recruitment, APC maturation, lymphocyte activation, lymphocyte trafficking, and/or lymphocyte effector function. In another embodiment, the model can account for mediator production in response to antigen within a chronically inflamed peripheral tissue, as well as the regulatory effects of mediators on APC and lymphocyte population dynamics, including maturation, activation, and apoptosis, and the regulatory effects of mediators produced by APCs and lymphocytes on a chronically inflamed peripheral tissue. Another embodiment of the invention relates to an analytical model of an adaptive immune response.

A method of managing objects within the simulation model commences with the storage of a first value for a particular parameter within an object of the simulation model. A panel is then displayed within the user interface. The relevant parameter of the above-identified object may then be identified for inclusion within this panel. In response to the identification of the parameter, an identifier (such as an icon) associated with the parameter is displayed within the panel. A second value for the relevant parameter of the object may then be inputted by a user via the panel. The second value for the parameter is then stored separately from the first value for the parameter, and these first and second values can be selectively applied to the parameter.
