François Fages Rocquencourt, Sep Issue of Abstraction Models are built in Systems Biology with two contradictory perspectives : 1) Models for representing knowledge : the more concrete the better 2) Models for making predictions : the more abstract the better ! These perspectives can be reconciled by organizing formalisms and models into hierarchies of abstractions. To understand a system is not to know everything about it but to know abstraction levels that are sufficient for answering questions about it

François Fages Rocquencourt, Sep How to Evaluate a Constraint LTL Formula ? Consider the ODE’s of the concentration semantics dX/dt = f(X) Numerical integration methods produce a discretization of time (adaptive step size Runge-Kutta or Rosenbrock method for stiff syst.) The trace is a linear Kripke structure: (t 0,X 0,dX 0 /dt), (t 1,X 1,dX 1 /dt), …, (t n,X n,dX n /dt), … over concentrations and their derivatives at discrete time points Evaluate the formula on that Kripke structure with a model checking alg.

Anticipate whether one has to add or remove a rule. Positive ECTL formula: if false, remains false after removing a rule EF(φ) where φ is a boolean formula (pure state description) Oscil(φ) Negative ACTL formula: if false, remains false after adding a rule AG(φ) where φ is a boolean formula, Checkpoint(a,b): ¬E(¬aUb) Remove a rule on the path given by the model checker ( why command) Unclassified CTL formulae
