    Abstract

    Systems biology develops mathematical models of biological systems that seek to explain, or better still predict, how the system behaves. In bottom-up systems biology, systematic quantitative experimentation is carried out to obtain the data required to parameterize models, which can then be analyzed and simulated. This paper describes an approach to integrated information management that supports bottom-up systems biology, with a view to automating, or at least minimizing the manual effort required during, creation of quantitative models from qualitative models and experimental data. Automating the process makes model construction more systematic, supports good practice at all stages in the pipeline, and allows timely integration of high throughput experimental results into models. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
