See Table 1 of Ref. [76] for a comprehensive list of tools for
cardiac cell modelling
which is an open standard based on the XML markup language, being developed by the
Bioengineering Institute at the University of Auckland and affiliated research groups
[31, 49]. The purpose of CellML is to provide a means for unambiguous specification of
biological models, which can be used to store and exchange such models. The structure
of a CellML document is such that it can both be used to generate equations suitable for
publishing and to generate a computer code to perform simulations, thus ensuring that
