Integrating intracellular dynamics using CompuCell3D and Bionetsolver: applications to multiscale modelling of cancer cell growth and invasion. by Vivi Andasari, Ryan T Roper, Maciej H Swat, Mark A J Chaplain

“…CompuCell3D or CC3D provides an implementation of the lattice-based Cellular Potts Model or CPM (also known as the Glazier-Graner-Hogeweg or GGH model) and a Monte Carlo method based on the metropolis algorithm for system evolution. The integration of CC3D for cellular systems with Bionetsolver for subcellular systems enables us to develop a multiscale mathematical model and to study the evolution of cell behaviour due to the dynamics inside of the cells, capturing aspects of cell behaviour and interaction that is not possible using continuum approaches. …”

Efficient Design Optimization Assisted by Sequential Surrogate Models by Emiliano Iuliano

“…The surrogates are exploited to screen the design space and provide lower-fidelity predictions across it; on the other hand, specific criteria are designed to suggest new points for high-fidelity evaluation so as to enrich the optimizer database. Both Kriging and radial basis function network are used as surrogates with different training strategies. …”
