This paper presents the first version of an algorithmic scheme dedicated to the model reduction problem, in the context of polynomial ODE models derived from generalized chemical reaction systems. This scheme, which relies on computer algebra, is implemented within a new MAPLE package. It is applied over an example. The qualitative analysis of the reduced model is afterwards completely carried out, proving the practical relevance of our methods.
