Fr, 10.04.2015: The Full Organism Challenge: Or, Can we Computerize an Elephant?

Prof. David Harel, Herkunftsorganisation, (eingeladen von Lutz Prechelt)

Takustr. 9, Raum 005, 14:15 bis ca. 15:45

I will discuss the idea of comprehensive and realistic modeling of biological systems, where we try to understand and analyze an entire system in detail, utilizing in the modeling effort all that is known about it. I will address the motivation for such modeling and the philosophy underlying the techniques for carrying it out, as well as the crucial question of when such models are to be deemed valid, or complete.

The examples will be from among the biological modeling efforts my group has been involved in: T cell development, lymph node behavior, organogenesis of the pancreas, rat whisking, cancer tumor formation, and various projects regarding the C. elegans nematode worm.

The ultimate long-term “grand challenge” is to produce an interactive, dynamic, computerized model of an entire multi-cellular organism, such as the C. elegans, which is extremely complex despite its small size, but well-defined in terms of anatomy and genetics.

The sweeping potential benefits of such a model will be discussed.
