_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This class is an abstraction for an experiment, e.g. in a
     simulation. An experiment consists of a 'ExperimentProtocol',
     'ExperimentDesign', 'ExperimentSubject' and 'ExperimentResult'.

     A virtual Class: No objects may be created from it.

_S_l_o_t_s:


     '_p_r_o_t_o_c_o_l': Object of empty virtual class 'ExperimentProtocol',
          how the experiment was or is to be performed. 

     '_d_e_s_i_g_n': Object of empty virtual class 'ExperimentDesign', the
          design of the experiment.

     '_s_u_b_j_e_c_t': Object of empty virtual class 'ExperimentSubject',  the
          object being observed by the experiment. 

     '_r_e_s_u_l_t': Object of empty virtual class 'ExperimentResult', the
          result of the experiment.

_M_e_t_h_o_d_s:


     _d_e_s_i_g_n 'signature(object = "Experiment")': Gets the 'design' slot. 

     _d_e_s_i_g_n<- 'signature(object = "Experiment")': Sets the 'design'
          slot. 

     _p_r_o_t_o_c_o_l 'signature(object = "Experiment")': Gets the 'protocol'
          slot. 

     _p_r_o_t_o_c_o_l<- 'signature(object = "Experiment")': Sets the 'protocol'
          slot. 

     _r_e_s_u_l_t 'signature(object = "Experiment")': Gets the 'result' slot. 

     _r_e_s_u_l_t<- 'signature(object = "Experiment")': Sets the 'result'
          slot. 

     _s_u_b_j_e_c_t 'signature(object = "Experiment")': Gets the 'subject'
          slot. 

     _s_u_b_j_e_c_t<- 'signature(object = "Experiment")': Sets the 'subject'
          slot.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'SOSExperiment', an implementation that simulates SBML modules
     using the SBML ODE Solver library.
