“…The required extensions include programming support for multiscale modeling [8] and for aspect-oriented programmingi [11]. In the latter case, the objective is to provide constructs for easily incorporating previously modeled aspects of plant behavior (e.g., responses to mechanical forces) into new models.…”

Abstract. Since their inception over forty years ago, L-systems have proven to be a useful conceptual and programming framework for modeling the development of plants at different levels of abstraction and different spatial scales. Formally, L-systems offer a means of defining cell complexes with changing topology and geometry. Associated with these complexes are self-configuring systems of equations that represent functional aspects of the models. The close coupling of topology, geometry and computation constitutes a computing paradigm inspired by nature, termed developmental computing. We analyze distinctive features of this paradigm within and outside the realm of biological models.

“…and drive robots in space. Godin et al in [8,6] use a similar structure, that they call quotiented trees, to model and study plants. As compared to the latter, MiGaLs can represent graphs and not just trees, and contrary to Multihierarchical Graphs, MiGaLs can have edges between nodes belonging to different layers.…”

“…The new structure is useful for representing information that can be described at different levels of abstraction, each level corresponding to a graph. Similar structures have already been used for modelling a spatial environment [4,5] or plant architectures [8,6]. It could also be used for analysing web pages or source codes.…”

Abstract. We introduce a new data structure, called MiGaL for "Multiple Graph Layers", that is composed of various graphs linked together by relations of abstraction/refinement. The new structure is useful for representing information that can be described at different levels of abstraction, each level corresponding to a graph. We then propose an algorithm for comparing two MiGaLs. The algorithm performs a step-bystep comparison starting with the most "abstract" level. The result of the comparison at a given step is communicated to the next step using a special colouring scheme. MiGaLs represent a very natural model for comparing RNA secondary structures that may be seen at different levels of detail, going from the sequence of nucleotides, single or paired with another to participate in a helix, to the network of multiple loops that is believed to represent the most conserved part of RNAs having similar function. We therefore show how to use MiGaLs to very efficiently compare two RNAs of any size at different levels of detail simultaneously.
