Abstract

Bio-PEPA is a novel stochastic process algebra which has been recently developed for modelling biochemical pathways [5,6]. In Bio-PEPA a reagent-centric style of modelling is adopted, and a variety of analysis techniques can be applied to a single model expression. Such an approach facilitates easy validation of analysis results when the analyses address the same issues [3] and enhanced insight when the analyses are complementary [4]. Currently supported analysis techniques include stochastic simulation at the molecular level, ordinary di..erential equations, probabilistic model checking and numerical analysis of a continuous time Markov chain.
