Enzymatic simulation of complex processes

Computer simulations have become very important in todays sciences. The theory of complex systems (short: systems theory) provides an appropriate basis for abstract modeling sciences - in particular physics. In this work a software package is introduced, which serves as a general modeling and simulation tool. Beginning with a brief introduction to systems theory, modern techniques of software development are discussed. It is found that the object oriented approach and the theory of complex systems share many concepts. Making extensive use of object oriented techniques, a software has been developed, which consists of three components: The core package, responsible for modeling system theoretical scenarios, the presentation package, which provides a user interface, and a language interpreter, a powerful scripting tool acting as an interface between the core and the presentation. As a general simulation tool, it may be imaginable to simulate processes of life. This work concludes with a short description of life processes in nature as well as a section about artificial life.
