From CytoSolve's viewpoint a sub-model or module is a "black box".
CytoSolve's requirement, therefore, in this aspect, is minimal: each sub-model or module must accept as input a vector of species concentrations at a particular time step, and provide an output vector of species concentrations at the next time step.
In the original and 2008 models, these modules are installed in pairs, one each on two riser cards.
The 'Models related to NICAM' section showed a variety of ways that NICAM can be used, specifically, stretch NICAM, diamond NICAM, plane NICAM, the tropically enhanced grid model, and coupling with the ocean model or the I/O module.
In all these cases, it would be most desirable to take a well-curated genome-scale model and to reduce this model to a certain core or module while keeping key elements or/and important functional properties.
In this section we aim to analyse the similarly expressed groups within the set of unclassified ORFs in an attempt model unclassified functional modules or at least unclassified parts of known functional modules.
The result of such a merge is a multilevel or hierarchical model, where the same submodel or module may be described at different levels of complexity.
The dynamics of helper and suppressor T cells and their interaction with antigen-presenting cells could be modeled as a separate subsystem, or module, whose output served as input to the B-cell module.
For the most part the results were fairly consistent regardless of the PV model, PV module, or converter used.
