    Abstract

    We give a stochastic extension of the Brane Calculus, along the lines of
    recent work by Cardelli and Mardare. In this presentation, the semantics of a
    Brane process is a measure of the stochastic distribution of possible
    derivations. To this end, we first introduce a labelled transition system for
    Brane Calculus, proving its adequacy w.r.t. the usual reduction semantics.
    Then, brane systems are presented as Markov processes over the measurable space
    generated by terms up-to syntactic congruence, and where the measures are
    indexed by the actions of this new LTS.

  2. Proceedings 5th International Workshop on Logical Frameworks and Meta-languages: Theory and Practice.

    Authors: Marino Miculan, Karl Crary
    Subjects: Logic in Computer Science
    Abstract

    Type theories, logical frameworks and meta-languages form a common foundation
    for designing, implementing, and reasoning about formal languages and their
    semantics. They are central to the design of modern programming languages,
    certified software, and domain specific logics. More generally, they continue
    to influence applications in many areas in mathematics, logic and computer
    science.

  3. A framework for protein and membrane interactions.

    Abstract

    We introduce the BioBeta Framework, a meta-model for both protein-level and
    membrane-level interactions of living cells. This formalism aims to provide a
    formal setting where to encode, compare and merge models at different
    abstraction levels; in particular, higher-level (e.g. membrane) activities can
    be given a formal biological justification in terms of low-level (i.e.,
    protein) interactions.

  4. Bigraphical models for protein and membrane interactions.

    Abstract

    We present a bigraphical framework suited for modeling biological systems
    both at protein level and at membrane level. We characterize formally bigraphs
    corresponding to biologically meaningful systems, and bigraphic rewriting rules
    representing biologically admissible interactions. At the protein level, these
    bigraphic reactive systems correspond exactly to systems of kappa-calculus.
    Membrane-level interactions are represented by just two general rules, whose
    application can be triggered by protein-level interactions in a well-de\"ined
    and precise way.
