There are a number of reviews of gene network models in the literature, many of which either focus on a particular model system or modelling formalism, or are targeted at an audience with knowledge in a particular background area. Two recent overviews that provide a good coverage of the field have been published by Hidde de Jong [31] and Paul Smolen [112]. In addition, Computational Modeling of Genetic and Biochemical Networks [23] by James Bower and Hamid Bolouri provides a good overview of modelling formalisms (chapter 2), as well as a more in depth look at several particular techniques. A general description of the complex systems approach to modelling (not specific to biological systems) can be found in Emergence by John Holland [62].
