Rival approaches to mathematical modelling in immunology. (English) Zbl 1119.92037
Summary: In order to formulate quantitatively correct mathematical models of the immune system, one requires an understanding of immune processes and familiarity with a range of mathematical techniques. Selection of an appropriate model requires a number of decisions to be made, including a choice of the modelling objectives, strategies and techniques and the types of models considered as candidate models. The authors adopt a multidisciplinary perspective.
