Abstract:
The advent of the computer and of computer science, and in particular virtual reality, offers new experiment possibilities with numerical simulations and introduces a new type of investigation for the complex systems study : the in virtuo experiment. This work lies on the framework of object oriented-modeling and multiagent systems. The aim is to combine the systemic paradigm and the virtual reality. We propose a generic model for systems biology based on reification of the interactions, on a concept of organisation and on a multimodeling approach. By "reification" we understand that interactions are taken as autonomous agents. An application to a disease study : the allergic urticaria.
