Collective Behavior in Systems Biology: A Primer on Modelling Infrastructure

Collective Behaviour in Systems Biology: A Primer on Modelling Infrastructure presents useful knowledge for a systematic understanding of the modeling framework in various contexts and provides insights to build models to understand biological processes. It provides a basic understanding on why and how theoretical methods work, relating both mathematics and input from biological fields in various applications. The book discusses topics such as differential equations, systems input into output, systemic processes management, optimization and organized behaviors and networks. The content is written didactically and with an emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches in order to help the reader easily apply the knowledge obtained to their research.

This book is a valuable source for several members of biomedical field who wants to learn more about mathematical and computational modelling, especially on systemic collective behavior.

• Presents mathematical and abstract systems methods for the study of biological cell processes in their context
• Provides knowledge on quantitative understanding of the interplay between biological interactions and quantitatively predict experimental observations
• Explains modeling structure for biomedical researchers who want to learn computational methods to take advantage of novel high-throughput data acquisition technologies available
