We have developed a new computational modelling paradigm for predicting the emergent behaviour
resulting from the interaction of cells in epithelial tissue. As proof-of-concept, an agent-based model,
in which there is a one-to-one correspondence between biological cells and software agents, has been
coupled to a simple physical model. Behaviour of the computational model is compared with the
growth characteristics of epithelial cells in monolayer culture, using growth media with low and
physiological calcium concentrations. Results show a qualitative fit between the growth characteristics
produced by the simulation and the in vitro cell models
