abstract = {An important capability build by The Human Brain Project
(HBP) is brain simulations of large- and multiscale
experimental and clinical data sets with integrated analysis
toolkits. This results in workflows with multiple components
to be run in parallel and in coordination with each. How to
develop an end-user friendly production system capable of
running these workflows is an open question, and introduces
several scientific, engineering, and execution challenges:
Parallel execution in a distributed environment. Data-flow
and transformation between different scales, as well as
error propagation related to the model complexity. Tolerance
to network isolation/failure, the identification of
communication/computation bottlenecks, and the growing
probability of the fault condition as a multiplicative
function of the number of applications in a workflow and
their individual failure probabilities. To address these
challenges, the multi-scale co-simulation framework, based
on the Modular Science approach, connects at runtime the
needed simulation engines, analysis tools and visualization
engines. The Modular Science runtime execution system
augments the science functionality with engineering and
deployment functionality providing a handle on the
complexity of the system. This talk will introduce the
multi-scale co-simulation framework and the Modular Science
approach to address the challenges with a focus on
two-driving use-cases containing a NEST model. Firstly, a
TVB and NEST co-simulation with dedicated transformation
modules connecting a spiking network with a neural mass
model. The second use-case is a co-simulation setup
connecting NEST to the multi-agent simulation environment
NetLogo, where a small point neuron network simulation
controls agents interacting in a simple world.},
