Biologically related processes operate across multiple spatiotemporal scales. For
computational modeling methodologies to mimic this biological complexity,
individual scale models must be linked in ways that allow for dynamic exchange of
information across scales. A powerful methodology is to combine a discrete
modeling approach, agent-based models (ABMs), with continuum models to form
hybrid models. Hybrid multi-scale ABMs have been used to simulate emergent
responses of biological systems. Here, we review two aspects of hybrid
multi-scale ABMs: linking individual scale models and efficiently solving the
resulting model. We discuss the computational choices associated with aspects of
linking individual scale models while simultaneously maintaining model
tractability. We demonstrate implementations of existing numerical methods in the
context of hybrid multi-scale ABMs. Using an example model describing
Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, we show relative computational speeds of
various combinations of numerical methods. Efficient linking and solution of
hybrid multi-scale ABMs is key to model portability, modularity, and their use in
understanding biological phenomena at a systems level.
