【 摘 要 】

Simulation is widely used for modeling engineering artifacts and natural phenomena to gain insight into the operation of those systems. Formal verification is concerned with proving or disproving the correctness of a system with respect to a certain property. Despite of these different objectives, the fields of simulation and verification address similar research challenges. Particularly,in the application area systems biology simulation and verification are moving together.The Dagstuhl Seminar was dedicated to intensifying this dialogue, and stimulating the exchange of ideas. Three working groups discussed questions:Why are biological systems difficult to model?, What role does refinement and abstraction play in combining simulation and verification?, What is the role of communication and composition in simulating and analysing dynamic systems?The results of the working groups can be found in the working groups’ report.
