Abstract
A system and method for facilitating simulation of a biological process within a network including a plurality of nodes is disclosed herein. The method includes receiving, at a first of the plurality of nodes, processing results generated at a second of the plurality of nodes. The method further includes performing, with respect to at least the processing results, a function related to the simulation of the biological process and thereby generating additional processing results. In addition, the method includes sending the additional processing results to a third of the plurality of nodes.
Claims15
A method for facilitating simulation of a biological process within a network including a plurality of nodes, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a first of the plurality of nodes, processing results generated at a second of the plurality of nodes;
- performing, with respect to at least the processing results, a function related to the simulation of the biological process and thereby generating additional processing results;
- and
- sending the additional processing results to a third of the plurality of nodes.
A method for facilitating simulation of a biological process within a biological data network including a plurality of nodes, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a first of the plurality of nodes, a query relating to the biological process;
- performing, with respect to biological data accessible to the first of the plurality of nodes, a first function related to the simulation of the biological process, thereby generating processing results;
- determining, with respect to the processing results, that a second function should be performed as a part of the simulation;
- identifying a second of the plurality of nodes configured to perform the second function;
- and
- sending the processing results to the second of the plurality of nodes.
A network node within a network including a plurality of nodes, the network node comprising:
- a network interface;
- an input processor in communication with the network interface, the input processor being configured to receive processing results generated at a first of the plurality of nodes;
- a processing module configured to perform, with respect to at least the processing results, a function related to a simulation of a biological process and thereby generate processing results;
- and
- a transmit controller in communication with the processing module, the transmit controller being configured to control sending of the processing results to a second of the plurality of nodes.
A network node within a network including a plurality of nodes, the network node comprising:
- a network interface;
- an input processor in communication with the network interface, the input processor being configured to receive a query relating to a biological process;
- a processing module configured to perform, with respect to biological data accessible to the network node, a first function related to a simulation of the biological process and thereby generate processing results wherein the processing module is further configured to determine, based upon at least the processing results, that a second function should be performed as a part of the simulation;
- wherein the processing module is further configured to identify a first of the plurality of nodes configured to perform the second function;
- and
- a transmit controller in communication with the processing module, the transmit controller being configured to control sending, through the network interface, the processing results to the first of the plurality of nodes.
