Abstract: |
Methods for 3D visualization are
well established in all disciplines where simulation preprocessing data (e.g.
FE meshes) or simulation output data is directly coupled to the geometry of
the real system. The situation is quite different, when this connection is
missing because the system is conceptually modeled by abstract structures.
The complex interconnected biochemical reaction net- works in living cells which are studied in Systems Biol-
ogy are a typical example. Here, it is a
challenge to design visual representations of these networks showing all
wanted structural features combined with quantita- tive data from simulation runs or experiments. This paper
presents and evaluates three case studies that illustrate new visualization
approaches in 3D to display structural and quantitative information related
to bio- chemical networks and discusses the potential of inter- active 3D
network visualization in context of Systems Biology. |
