The mission of Coast is to develop a multi-scale, multi-science framework coined Complex Automata for modelling and simulation of complex systems based on a hierarchical aggregation of coupled Cellular Automata and agent-based models.

Coast will validate the Complex Automata framework by applying it to a very challenging and highly relevant biomedical application, related to treatment of coronary artery diseases

Coast is partially funded by the EU through EU-FP6-IST-FET Contract 033664.
