[cellml-discussion] Proposal: Simplification of connections - removal of directionality and map_components

2008-02-06 Thread Andrew Miller
Hi all, I am proposing that in CellML 1.2, we make connections between variables undirected (that is, we don't have an in or out on public or private interfaces for variables). I am also proposing that we remove the map_components element and move the component_1 and component_2 attributes

[cellml-discussion] Identifying smaller subsystems of simultaneous equations in differential-algebraic models

2008-04-15 Thread Andrew Miller
Hi all, One issue which has recently been discussed amongst those of us working on CellML tools is the best way to handle models which require systems of equations to be solved efficiently. For example, if a model has equations like: f1(a, b, c) = 0 f2(a, b, c) = 0 f3(a, c) = 0 f4(b, c, d, e)
