# Systems Biology

Systems biology is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on complex interactions within biological systems, using mathematical and computational models to understand and predict biological behaviors.

## Summary of Work

1. **Bayesian uncertainty analysis for complex systems biology models:** This work introduces Bayesian statistical methods to analyze complex systems biology models with many parameters. Using Bayesian emulators and iterative history matching, it efficiently searches high-dimensional parameter spaces to identify parameter sets that fit observed data, demonstrated on hormonal crosstalk in Arabidopsis root development.

2. **Systems biology beyond degree, hubs and scale-free networks:** This paper argues the necessity of using multiple network metrics beyond traditional ones like degree or betweenness to better understand biological complex networks. It emphasizes identifying informative and redundant metrics for holistic network comparisons.

# Multi-Agent AI Systems

Multi-agent AI systems involve multiple intelligent agents interacting or working collaboratively to solve problems, make decisions, or achieve goals. The research in this area explores communication mechanisms, coordination, cooperation strategies, and control of distributed agent networks, both in simulated environments and real-world applications.

## Summary of Work

1. **A Survey of Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning with Communication (2022)**  
   This work surveys multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (MADRL) focusing on communication among agents to coordinate behavior, broaden environment views, and improve collaboration. It proposes nine dimensions to analyze communication approaches in MADRL, identifies research trends, and suggests future directions by exploring possible communication design combinations.

2. **A Methodology to Engineer and Validate Dynamic Multi-level Multi-agent Based Simulations (2013)**
