Abstract
En 中文
Fuzzy Answer Set Programming (FASP) is an extension of the popular Answer Set Programming (ASP) paradigm that allows for modeling and solving combinatorial search problems in continuous domains. The recent development of practical solvers for FASP has enabled its applicability to real-world problems. In this paper, we investigate the application of FASP in modeling the dynamics of Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs). A commonly used simplifying assumption to model the dynamics of GRNs is to assume only Boolean levels of activation of each node. Our work extends this Boolean network formalism by allowing multi-valued activation levels. We show how FASP can be used to model the dynamics of such networks. We experimentally assess the efficiency of our method using real biological networks found in the literature, as well as on randomly-generated synthetic networks. The experiments demonstrate the applicability and usefulness of our proposed method to find network attractors. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
