Comparing simulation results of SBML capable simulators

Frank T Bergmann et al. Bioinformatics. .

Abstract

Motivation: Simulations are an essential tool when analyzing biochemical networks. Researchers and developers seeking to refine simulation tools or develop new ones would benefit greatly from being able to compare their simulation results.

Summary: We present an approach to compare simulation results between several SBML capable simulators and provide a website for the community to share simulation results.

Availability: The website with simulation results and additional material can be found under: http://sys-bio.org/sbwWiki/compare. The software used to generate the simulation results is available on the website for download.

Percent agreement between simulation results: only 10% of the simulation results have an agreement factor smaller than <70%. (100% agreement: 63%, 90–99% agreement: 15%, 80–90% agreement: 12{%).
