Abstract

Our aim is to reconstruct Claude Bernard's empirical investigations with a computational model. We suppose that he had in mind what we call "kernel models" that provide simplified views of physiology, which allowed him to make hypotheses and to draw out their logical consequences. We show how those "kernel models" can be specified using both description logics and multi-agent systems. Then, the paper will explain how it is possible to build a virtual experiment laboratory, which lets us construct and conduct virtual experiments.
