Abstract:
The biological systems' study is booming. Some scientists use well known mathematical tools such as differential equations while others use graphs or other formalisms. Since the 2000's, new models are more and more used: process algebras. These algebras allow to model the biological systems at the scale of the components. Another individual-centered paradigm, very used in computer science, is the multiagent paradigm. We present in this paper a simulation method of stochastic π-calculus models with a multiagent platform. The implementation of this method led us to the realization of the SPiC-MAS software. The robustness and the adaptability of MultiAgent Systems allow to the user of this software to do genuine experiments in the computing and virtual world: "In Virtuo".
Keywords: Stochastic π-calculus, Multiagent system, Biological simulations, In Virtuo experiment.
