Biological pathways, such as signaling networks, are a key component of biological systems
of each living cell. In fact, malfunctions of signaling pathways are linked to a number of
diseases, and components of signaling pathways are used as potential drug targets. Elucidating
the dynamic behavior of the components of pathways, and their interactions, is one of the key
research areas of systems biology.
Biological signaling networks are characterized by a large number of components and an
even larger number of parameters describing the network....
