Remarkable progress in genomic research is leading to a complete map of the building
blocks of biology. Knowledge of this map is, in turn, setting the stage for a fundamental …

The literature on intracellular signal transduction presents a confusing picture: every
regulatory factor appears to be regulated by all signal transduction cascades and to regulate …

We present the first results in the development of a new declarative programming language
called MGS. This language is devoted to the simulation of biological processes, especially …

What are the relations between the shape of a system of cities and that of fish school? Which
events should happen in a cell in order that it participates to one of the finger of our hands …

The cell as a dynamical system presents the characteristics of having a dynamical structure.
That is, the exact phase space of the system cannot be fixed before the evolution and …

In its initial presentation, the P system formalism describes the topology of the membranes
as a set of nested regions. In this paper, we present an algebraic structure developped in …

I take the opportunity given by this invited talk to promote two ideas:(1) a topological point of
view can fertilize the notion of rewriting and (2) this topological approach of rewriting is at the …

The theory of behaviour-based systems (or autonomous agents) constitutes a useful
approach for the modelling of intracellular signalling networks. In this sense, a cell can be …
