The Sbml Ode Solver Library Support Requests 10 Build

Abstract The SBML ODE Solver Library (SOSlib) is a programming library for symbolic and numerical analysis of chemical reaction network models encoded in the Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML). It is written in ISO C and distributed under the open source LGPL license. The package employs libSBML structures for formula representation and associated functions to construct a system of ordinary differential equations, their Jacobian matrix and other derivatives. SUNDIALS' CVODES is incorporated for numerical integration and sensitivity analysis.

Preliminary benchmarking results give a rough overview on the behavior of different tools and are discussed in the Supplementary Material. The native application program interface provides fine-grained interfaces to all internal data structures, symbolic operations and numerical routines, enabling the construction of very efficient analytic applications and hybrid or multi-scale solvers with interfaces to SBML and non SBML data sources. Optional modules based on XMGrace and Graphviz allow quick inspection of structure and dynamics.

The need for exchange of models between different computational tools motivated collaborative efforts to develop standard formats for describing the common chemical reaction networks underlying the differing derived mathematical descriptions. Of the two XML based standards SBML and CellML , the former is supported by a growing number of applications and an official programming library, libSBML.

While the available tools (see ) cover a variety of methods to edit and analyze reaction networks and their dynamics and/or structure, they are mostly designed as platform-specific standalone tools, accessible mostly via complex graphical user interfaces. In contrast, SOSlib combines libSBML with the SUNDIALS package to provide a detailed application program interface (API) to both a derived ordinary differential equation (ODE) system and various derivatives thereof (e.g. The Jacobian matrix) and to efficient integration and sensitivity analysis routines. The fine-grained interfaces allow to access integration routines at all levels, e.g. To operate on parameter and variable values during integration or to incorporate external data.

All functionalities of the library are implemented in several well-documented example programs and a simple command-line application with additional visualization modules. 2 METHODS The SOSlib is a straightforward integration of the features of libSBML, the official library for parsing and editing SBML, with CVODES' methods for solving stiff and non-stiff ODE systems and their parameter sensitivities. Depicts the basic architecture, which can be outlined as follows. Limitations SOSlib (1.6.0) does not support user defined units or unit conversions.

Models with delays or algebraic rules can not currently be handled. The event detection and execution is not generally valid and has to be used with care (see Methods). 3.2 Symbolic analysis and hybrid systems All formulae in SBML, ODE, J and P can be retrieved as libSBML AST structures, evaluated with current data or further differentiated with respect to arbitrary variables. This functionality for symbolic operations opens SBML models for further analytic treatment. The fine-grained interface to numerical routines directly enables efficient multi-scale modeling or integration into hybrid (continuous + discrete) solvers.

Independent solver instances can ‘communicate’ between time steps via straight-forward functions to set all parameters and variables, including the next time step of integration. Furthermore, an application can provide functions that evaluate external data from, for example, experimental measurements or other solvers. 4 DISCUSSION While systems biology has gained much attention only recently, its current methods are in large parts old and well-founded on mathematical and biochemical theories. We follow the spirit of SBML and libSBML to provide application developers with detailed interfaces to already existing standard methods under a very liberal licensing policy.

In other words we are not trying to ‘reinvent the wheel’, but offer its best possible implementation to enable rapid scientific progress and unrestricted further development in this field. SOSlib uniquely provides a detailed native API, independent of any GUI or scripting environment, that allows access to all the components of a deterministic reaction network simulator enabling scientists to construct efficient applications that are tailored to their research needs. We are not aware of any other open source SBML analysis package that offers the time course sensitivity analysis provided by SOSlib through CVODES.

The next releases (during 2006) will include exact event handling and extend the CVODES interface to provide adjoint sensitivities and sophisticated parameter identification routines that employ inverse methods. SUNDIALS's IDA solver for differential algebraic equation systems will be interfaced to provide integration for models with arbitrary algebraic rules. Bifurcation and feedback analysis would be obvious next steps. Gratefully acknowledges financial support by his parents. This work was supported by the WWTF, project number MA05.

SOSlib (SBML ODE Solver Library) SOSlib is both a and a command-line application for symbolic and numerical analysis of a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) derived from a chemical reaction network encoded in the Systems Biology Markup Language. It is written in and distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License. The package employs 's AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) for formula representation to construct ODE systems, their Jacobian matrix and other derivatives. CVODES, the sensitivity-enabled ODE solver in the is used for numerical integration and sensitivity analysis of stiff and non-stiff ODE systems. The provides fine-grained interfaces to all internal data structures, symbolic operations and numerical routines, enabling the construction of powerful and efficient analytic applications, hybrid solvers or multi-scale models with interfaces to non SBML data sources. Optional modules based on and allow a quick inspection of a model's structure and dynamics. All functionalities are accessible directly via a command-line application and several example programs.

SBML PIT (SBML Parameter Identification Toolkit) The capabilities of SOSlib for sensitivity analysis allow the implementation of efficient algorithms for parameter identification. The identification of model parameters and initial conditions from noisy experimental data is a typical ill-posed inverse problem and can be formulated in a stable way as a minimization problem with a data mismatch and a regularization term. In a parameter identification software based on SOSlib, the local (gradient based) search is performed with the interior point optimizer IpOpt using the capabilities of SOSlib for adjoint sensitivity analysis to efficiently compute the gradient of the data mismatch. To stabilize the solutions with respect to noise in the measurements several regularization techniques have been implemented. The parameter identification software requires the following input:. a biochemical model specified in SBML.

a list of unknown parameters and initial conditions with the corresponding initial guesses and/or lower and upper bounds. a regularization term. experimental data The output consists in a list of the identified values for the unknown parameters and initial conditions together with the corresponding confidence intervals.

The latter can be estimated using the so-called Fisher Information Matrix, which is computed using the capabilities of SOSlib for forward sensitivity analysis. Availability Precompiled binaries of SBML PIT and example input files are available upon request from.
