Figure 6

Architecture of the Systems Biology Simulation Core Library (simplified). Numerical methods are strictly separated from differential equation systems. The upper part displays the unified type hierarchy of all currently included numerical integration methods. The middle part shows the interfaces defining several special types of the differential equations to be solved by the numerical methods. The class SBMLinterpreter (bottom part) implements all of these interfaces with respect to the information content of a given SBML model. Similarly, an implementation of further data formats can be included into the library.
