Professor of Computer Science, University of Sheffield. FBCS, FIMA, CEng, C.Math, CITP. I have been involved in the use of computational techniques for modelling biological systems since 1980. More recently I have developed a technique of agent-based modelling based on the framework FLAME which is the only such system that can be run on supercomputers. We have made significant new biological discoveries using this approach: The approach models the location and activity of millions of individual ...
