NEW VCELL APPLICATIONS

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. The project focuses on expanding the VCell platform beyond the monolithic, single environment, single site system under which we have made VCell available until now. This will be achieved by developing several different classes of VCell applications: (i) the "classic" web-based problem-solving environment, instances of which will continue to be hosted at UCHC for public use, but with the additional capability of being mirrored by other public sites or being packaged for deployment on local sites; (ii) a stand-alone version, that can be installed on single computers without the need for network functionality and commercial third-party software (but with optional additional modules); (iii) a collection of VCell-derived "tools"  either dedicated modules or plug-ins (such as converters, solvers) or focused applications (such as virtual microscopy); and (iv) an enhanced web portal with direct access to the VCell database, coupled with a very lightweight "reader" application.
