Abstract

We use computational modeling and formal analysis techniques to study temporal behavior of a discrete logical model of the naïve T cell differentiation. The model is analyzed formally and automatically by performing temporal logic queries via statistical model checking. The results obtained using model checking provide details about relative timing of events in the system, which would otherwise be very cumbersome and time consuming to obtain through simulations only.
