title: Distributed model construction with virtual parts.
abstract: Here three models for a simple genetic device are constructed using modular mathematical models. The models are stored in an online system (the Physiome Model Repository) with distributed source and access control, demonstrating a collaborative method for creating mathematical models from reusable components.
