e-Science Tools for the Analysis of Complex Systems

Abstract

Many real world complex systems (e.g., protein-protein interaction networks in living cells, the Internet) can be conceptualised as graphs of interacting components, where the components are the nodes and the interactions are the edges of the graph. Identifying the functionally important components of complex network systems can be of considerable interest in many real world applications. Consequently, analysing graphs of complex networks to detect their vulnerable components and to establish their structural integrity is very important. The e-Science Solutions for the Analysis of Complex Systems (eXSys) project aims to develop e-Science analysis tools for analysing vulnerabilities in complex networks in particular the protein-protein interaction network. In this paper we describe the techniques we used for collecting protein-protein interaction data for numerous organisms from heterogeneous bioinformatics databases and the methods used for data analysing.
