ARCHITECTURE OF SOFTWARE TOOLKIT FOR STORING AND OPERATING WITH BIOSYSTEMS MODELS

*SUMMARY Motivation: Each biosystem – from cell-level to biosphere – could be viewed as a selfregulating hierarchical system of elements interconnected into the network by the regulatory circuits. On different stages of biosystem’s evolution such a network could contain various number of elements and has various structure of interconnections that is the consequence of serious behaviour variations. Regarding to the biosystem’s type there are different types of elements and interconnections forming the domain of current biosystem (Zherikhin, 1994; Suslov et al., 2006). For instance the cell models contains microbodies, proteins and chemical substances as elements while the ecosystems includes concrete organisms, other biotic and abiotic factors, food (Luczkovich et al., 2003) and also completely different interaction types (De Jong-Brink, 1995; Schultze, Kondorosi, 1998; Adamo, 2002). The software capable to operate with different network types first of all need to be flexible enough and have an extensible domain. More precisely, each network type is described by separate domain. For each one user need to define the appropriate element types – and this must be the key feature of the software to develop. Results: Currently the database capable to store different types of network is prototyped. The first two network types to be stored are gene and ecological networks. The database is capable to represent them, describe and associate with others stages of biosystem’s evolution in context of single model and also decompose such networks.
