We use the -calculus to model the evolution of biochemical systems, taking advantage of their similarities with global computation applications. First, we present a reduction semantics for the -calculus from which causality and concurrency can be mechanically derived. We prove that our semantics agrees with the causal de-nitions presented in the literature. We also extend our semantics to model biological compartments. Then, we show the applicability of our proposal on a couple of biological examples.

Abstract

We use the -calculus to model the evolution of biochemical systems, taking advantage of their similarities with global computation applications. First, we present a reduction semantics for the -calculus from which causality and concurrency can be mechanically derived. We prove that our semantics agrees with the causal de-nitions presented in the literature. We also extend our semantics to model biological compartments. Then, we show the applicability of our proposal on a couple of biological examples.
