Introduction to CESE

Cell Electrophysiology Simulation Environment (CESE) is a comprehensive framework specifically designed to perform computational electrophysiological simulations, for example, simulations of cardiac myocyte electrical activity.

CESE is a cross-platform program, it runs on any system that has Java runtime environment (JRE) version 1.5 (5.0) or above. It was tested under Windows, Linux, Solaris, MacOS X, and AIX.

CESE was created from the ground up to incorporate the best programming practices available for Java developers, both in terms of user interface consistency and code clarity and reuse. Wherever possible, CESE rely on available Java APIs (for example Java2D, JavaBeans, JAXP) to simplify the code.

At this stage CESE allows creation and execution of single-cell models (containing both HH and Markovian current formulations). You will find a few example models with source code in this distribution.

CESE also includes a preliminary version of CellML to CESE conversion script, allowing you to transform models in CellML format to CESE-compatible Java source code. Refer to CESE website for details.
