• Algorithm

  The main algorithm is described in Runarsson and Yao's work.
  It is available at http://cerium.raunvis.hi.is/~tpr/software/sres/

• Samples
  • In the package, it includes the thirteen examples described in Runarsson and Yao's work.
  • These examples are also implemented using MPI for distributed, parallel implementations.
  • libSRES has been applied for parameter estimation in two biochemical pathways: threestep model described in work by Banga, et al., and HIV model described in work by Mendes & Kell and Kuzmič, et al. To do these, CVODE is needed.
    Data file for HIV model.
    Source code for HIV model.
    Source code for threestep model.
