BioUML - Biological Universal Modeling Language – is open source extensible Java workbench for systems biology. BioUML meta model provides a formalism for comprehensive description, visualization and simulation of wide range of biological and other complex systems. It splits the system description into three interconnected levels: 1) graph structure - the system structure is described as compartmentalized graph; 2) database level - each graph element can contains reference to database object, additionally arbitrary attributes can be associated with graph element; 3) executable model - any graph element can be element of executable (mathematical) model, for example it can be variable or equation. BioUML workbench is a plugin-based application framework that provides its extensibility and possibility of seamless integration of other tools for systems biology. It consists from a Eclipse platform runtime kernel that supports 'plug-ins' and a set of plug-ins that support database access, diagram editing, and biological systems simulation.
