OpenCOR Service

[drniiken]

Background CellML is a markup language used to define coupled physiological models (mostly coupled ODEs). OpenCOR is a numerical solver optimized for simulating such models (http://www.opencor.ws/). The physiome model repository is a place where many such models are already stored and more will be produced by the MAP-CORE. This task should be done in close coordination with Alain from the MAP-CORE team. OpenCOR has a Python wrapper/API.

Definition of Done

• [x] CellML models can be loaded as input
• [x] OpenCOR parameters can be set
• [x] OpenCOR can be executed
• [x] Results can be accessed (ideally as output ports)

the exact way this is implemented is evolving in discussions with map-core. currently it seems that we would get a combination of an opencor solver, python script, and input file. the python script would execute the simulations using the input file. in addition, there is talk about this service being interactive in that it can receive modified parameters and push back adapted results.
