Collaborative Multidiscipline/Multiscale Analysis, Modeling, Simulation and Integration in Complex Systems: System Biology

A knowledge-based system for multi-disciplinary conceptual design synthesis

“…there are no common interdisciplinary design terms. This problem might be avoided using ontological approaches, 29,30 which provide a unifying knowledge framework for annotating the data are required to facilitate the semantic integration, knowledge-based searching, and unambiguous interpretation. In conceptual design, ontology is used to build a cross-domain functional representation.…”

Analysis, modeling, emergence & integration in complex systems: A modeling and integration framework & system biology

“…1 In analyzing a significant number of pivotal, short duration scenes, 2 a person talking, drawing, and/or gesturing succeeds in triggering one or more of the above results, because the use of certain verbal, gesture or pictorial "phrases" resonated with other participants' imaginative envisioning, to form an enlightening understanding. In building computer support for this type of activity in understanding "complex systems," we've found that we need to deal with four types of issues.…”

“…The third is taking a multi-level, multiple interacting subsystems, multi-perspective stance on complex systems. Higher level systems emerge from lower level subsystem interaction within multiple perspectives [1]. The last is evolutionary development of the approach and integrating it with current theories, techniques and practices of the disciplines involved; their approaches have worked well and our aim is to enhance them.…”

Graphic knowledge representation as a tool for fostering knowledge flow in informal learning processes

“…The speaker thus provides a conceptual image (van Lambalgen and Hamm, 2001;Stokhof, 2002;Wheeler, 2006) of the portion of knowledge to be discussed.
