TECHNOLOGY HYBRID AUTOMATA: A TOOL FOR REPRESENTING BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

Systems biology is an interdisciplinary study field of biological systems from the point of view of integrated systems, resulting mathematical equations that represent biological processes, interactions; all this to obtain models that allow us to save time with simulating scenarios rather than having to recreate in the laboratory and thereby expose predictions about the real world. This work aims to show the hybrid automata model as a tool to manipulate the mathematical modeling of nonlinear dynamic systems of high complexity and discontinuity, which manages systems biology. In this particular case the process of growth of the cancer population were analyzed; addressing first the behavior of the system, based on the mechanism and the mathematical model of the process, then the hybrid automaton model is applied to obtain representation and analyze their behavior
