Systems and methods for providing runtime execution of discovery logic from biological and chemical data

摘要

A method, apparatus, and program products for designing, implementing, distributing and deploying computer programs. Such programs bind the symbolic representation of a biological or chemical process to a physical implementation in computer memory. A Knowledge model defines a model for representing biological or chemical entities, knowledge on these systems, and packaging facts and intelligence using Knowledge Oriented Programming (KOP). The resulting knowledge components are implemented as off the shelf object oriented programming languages and tools. A Logic Model interprets existing algorithms and computational tools according to KOP. It also provides tools for encoding inference about the system. The Discovery Model assembles the components of the Knowledge and Logic Model for execution in computer memory. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides a tool for designing and executing a discovery application according to KOP.
