GON

The Genome Object Net (GON) is an enviroment for simulating and representing biological systems. It is an integrated tool consisting of several kinds of software tools for describing biopathways, visualizing simulation results, evaluating a hypothesis, biopathways recreation from biopathway databases. One tool is an extension of Petri net that can express explicitly the relationship between objects taking continuous values and discrete values with any control functions while keeping the characteristics of discrete Petri net soundly. Another tool is based on XML for visualizing and animating biopathway simulation results produced from the simulation mechanism of Genomic Object Net.
