„There is therefore no alternative to copying nature and computing these interactions to deter-
mine the logic ofhealthy and diseased States. ...
System physiology of the 2 Ist Century is set to become highly quantitative, and therefore, one
of the most computer-intensive disciplines.“
Der Erfolg allen Nachforschens hängt vom Stellen der Fragen ab.
„ Wenn du eine weise Antwort verlangst, musst du vernünftig fragen. “
Diese Feststellung von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe trifft gerade auf Situationen
hoher Komplexität zu, mit denen die Biowissenschaften und daher die mathemati-
sche Modellierung und Simulation in ihren Bereichen konfrontiert sind.
