Roles for autonomous physiologic agents; an oxygen supply and demand example

In the study of physiologic systems control, lumped parameter and differential equation techniques are standard approaches. Application of these techniques to the study of oxygen supply to tissues is discussed. It is then proposed that progress in dealing with heterogeneous physiologic systems is likely to proceed from the techniques of agent based modeling in the form of autonomous physiologic agents.
