Authors: Jane Hillston, Jeremy Pitt, Martin Wirsing, and Franco Zambonelli

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 4, Issue 12 (2015)

Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 14512 "Collective Adaptive Systems: Qualitative and Quantitative Modelling and Analysis". Besides presentations on current work in the area, the seminar focused on the following topics: (i) Modelling techniques and languages for collective adaptive systems based on the above formalisms. (ii) Verification of collective adaptive systems. (iii) Humans-in-the-loop in collective adaptive systems.

Modelling and analysis of the NF-$kappa$B pathway in Bio-PEPA

Authors: Federica Ciocchetta, Andrea Degasperi, John Heath, and Jane Hillston

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9091, Formal Methods in Molecular Biology (2009)

Abstract
In this work we present a Bio-PEPA model describing the Nuclear Factor $kappa$B (NF-$kappa$B) signalling pathway. In particular our model focuses on the dynamic response of NF-$kappa$B to an external stimulus. Each biochemical species in the pathway is represented by a specific Bio-PEPA component and the external stimulus is abstracted by Bio-PEPA events. The Bio-PEPA model is a formal intermediate representation of the pathway on which various kinds of analysis can be performed. Both stochastic and deterministic simulations are carried out to validate our model against the experimental data in the literature and to verify some properties, such as the impact of the stimulus duration and of the NF-$kappa$B initial amount on the behaviour of some species. Finally, sensitivity analysis is considered to investigate the most influential parameters of the model.

06161 Working Groups' Report: The Challlenge of Combining Simulation and Verification

Authors: Gregory Batt, Jeremy T. Bradley, Roland Ewald, François Fages, Holger Hermans, Jane Hillston, Peter Kemper, Alke Martens, Pieter Mosterman, Flemming Nielson, Oleg Sokolsky, and Adelinde M. Uhrmacher

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 6161, Simulation and Verification of Dynamic Systems (2006)

Abstract
Simulation has found widespread use for experimentation and exploration of the possible impacts of a variety of conditions on a system. In contrast, formal verification is concerned with proving or disproving the correctness of a system with respect to a certain property, using mathematical and logical methods.

Population models from PEPA descriptions

Authors: Jane Hillston

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 6161, Simulation and Verification of Dynamic Systems (2006)

Abstract
Stochastic process algebras such as PEPA have enjoyed considerable success as CTMC-based system description languages for performance evaluation of computer and communication systems. However they have not been able to escape the problem of state space explosion, and this problem is exacerbated when other domains such as systems biology are considered. Therefore we have been investigating alternative semantics for PEPA models which give rise to a population view of the system, in terms of a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. This extended abstract gives an overview of this mapping.
