Abstract

We describe an approach to modelling biological networks by action languages via answer set programming. To this end, we propose an action language for modelling biological networks, building on previous work by Baral et al. We introduce its syntax and semantics along with a translation into answer set programming. Finally, we describe one of its applications, namely, the sulfur starvation response-pathway of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and sketch the functionality of our system and its usage.
