Hi Andrew,
I attached here the specification of SBML level2, which I downloaded from
this web page
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=71971
In section 7.9, it gives an example of a simple model involving a delay
function. Hope this helps!
BTW, can we use something similar in CellML to express a delay functon?
Thanks,
Rui ZHU
