What is an algorithmic botany?
As a discipline dedicated to the employment of virtual means to increase the bank of knowledge of plants and life of plants, the algorithmic botany provides the botanist to use computer tools to study and simulate a number of different scenarios concerning plants. This use of virtual tools to study virtual plants has already been paid to great attention and is the subject of the main study at the University of Calgary.
The process of algorithmic botany is best expressed as biological modeling and visualization, more known as the BMV approach. This approach is the basis of research, which is currently being carried out under the auspices of the Informatics Department at the University of Calgary. Models in algorithmic botanists are essentially developed using computer science technology that are combined with different types of software to create a virtual laboratory in which virtual plants are cultivated in strict and controlled situations. The ability to run a number of different simulations simultaneouslyIt helps to speed up the research process a lot. Algorithmic botany creates a situation in which botanists can freely explore the possibilities in a very short time frame rather than years or decades that would require such efforts in real living conditions.
BMV groups of scientists at the University of Calgary are not in their work alone. People from all over the world are involved in various levels in the project. The work is basically divided into three main components. Modeling is an essential part and involves creating a basis for virtual plants. The simulation creates a number of controlled factors on the basis of modeling created by modeling and allowing scientists to introduce a number of controlled factors into the virtual environment of each model. Visualizerostin allows the study of the final product that is produced by a number of factors that are introduced and provides valuable information on the feasibility and suitability of the use of these factors in the SKute applicationthe nail world.
During November 2007, people who were interested in the progress of algorithmic botany gathered at the fifth year of functional structural seminar for plant modeling. The workshop held in Napier, New Zealand, was opened to people associated with the University of Calgary project and independent scientists who employ some form of algorithmic botany.
