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.
