Cellulat: an agent-based intracellular signalling model.

The theory of behaviour-based systems (or autonomous agents) constitutes a useful approach for the modelling of intracellular signalling networks. In this sense, a cell can be seen as an adaptive autonomous agent or as a society of such agents, where each can exhibit a particular behaviour depending on its cognitive capabilities. We present an intracellular signalling model obtained by integrating several computational techniques into an agent-based paradigm.
