Taxonomy of time-based modeling of cellular behavior.
| Model type | Research maturity | Formalism | Time | Concurrency | Model structure | Spatial parameters | Ergodic |
| Analog control system | Well known | Ordinary differential equations (math) | Steady state, with some transient | Ensemble view | Time based | No | Yes | Digital control system | Speculative | Ordinary differential equations (math) | Steady state, with some transient | Ensemble view | Time based | No | Yes | Process | Initial results | Process language | Simulated or stochastic | Medium | Top-down view | Yes | No | Actor | Initial results | Distributed autonomous | Simulated or stochastic | High | Bottom-up view | Yes | No |
