DESCRIPTION:For chemical reaction networks in biological cells\, reaction 
 rates and\nchemical species numbers may vary over several orders of magnit
 ude.\nCombined\, these large variations can lead to subnetworks operating 
 on very\ndifferent time scales.  Separation of time scales has been exploi
 ted in many\ncontexts as a basis for reducing the complexity of dynamic mo
 dels\, but the\ninteraction of the rate constants and the species numbers 
 makes identifying\nthe appropriate time scales tricky at best.  Some syste
 matic approaches to\nthis identification will be discussed and illustrated
  by application to one\nor more complex reaction network models.\n\n
