Systems Biology studies biological systems as self-organised, integrated wholes made up of interacting components. The behaviour of these components and their interactions give rise to the system's observed behaviour. Simulation provides a means of exploring emergent behaviour that is not easily predictable.
Agent-Based Modelling (ABM) has tremendous potential in advancing Systems Biology but is still under-utilised. The decision support tool has been designed to facilitate wide-ranging application of ABM approaches for Systems Biology.
