Abstract

Tissue simulation at the cellular level is very important to medical research, especially in understanding tumor cell evolution. Although many approaches have been proposed for tissue simulation, they are overly simplistic or too specialized. In this paper, we formulate the first comprehensive design of a multi-agent system for modelling tissue systems at the cellular level. We present our design concerns and our analyses of system features in detail. We believe our system provides a software model and foundation for the study of tissue biology.
