AbstractComputational modeling has become an established technique to encode mathematical representations of cellular processes and gain mechanistic insights that drive testable predictions. These models are often constructed using graphical user interfaces or domain-specific languages, with SBML used for interchange. Models are typically simulated, calibrated, and analyzed either within a single application, or using import and export from various tools. Here, we describe a programmatic modeling paradigm, in which modeling is augmented with best practices from software engineering. We focus on Python - a popular, user-friendly programming language with a large scientific package ecosystem. Models themselves can be encoded as programs, adding benefits such as modularity, testing, and automated documentation generators while still being exportable to SBML. Automated version control and testing ensures models and their modules have expected properties and behavior. Programmatic modeling is a key technology to enable collaborative model development and enhance dissemination, transparency, and reproducibility.HighlightsProgrammatic modeling combines computational modeling with software engineering best practices.An executable model enables users to leverage all available resources from the language.Community benefits include improved collaboration, reusability, and reproducibility.Python has multiple modeling frameworks with a broad, active scientific ecosystem.

It Leadership

Over the past few years, the IT landscape has changed dramatically to facilitate new entrants from emerging economies in the global market. Some nations such as India and China are poised to emerge as IT superpowers in the years to come. In this paper, we attempt analyze some of the critical success factors (CSF) that facilitate the development of IT leaders. Taking India as an example, we explore CSFs like educational system, governmental policies, infrastructure and entrepreneurial activities that are necessary for creating and fostering IT leaders. We conclude by describing the best practices for implementing software engineering projects in an offshore environment.
