Modelling biological systems. Modelling biological systems is a significant task of systems biology and mathematical biology. [ a] Computational systems biology[ b][ 1] aims to develop and use efficient algorithms, data structures, visualization and communication tools with the goal of computer modelling of biological systems.
Real-time computing. Real-time computing ( RTC) is the computer science term for hardware and software systems subject to a "real-time constraint", for example from event to system response. [ 1] Real-time programs must guarantee response within specified time constraints, often referred to as "deadlines". [ 2]
Complex systems. Systems biology is the computational and mathematical analysis and modeling of complex biological systems. It is a biology -based interdisciplinary field of study that focuses on complex interactions within biological systems, using a holistic approach ( holism instead of the more traditional reductionism) to biological research.
Artificial life. Artificial life ( ALife or A-Life) is a field of study wherein researchers examine systems related to natural life, its processes, and its evolution, through the use of simulations with computer models, robotics, and biochemistry. [ 1] The discipline was named by Christopher Langton, an American theoretical biologist, in 1986. [ 2]
Biological applications of bifurcation theory provide a framework for understanding the behavior of biological networks modeled as dynamical systems. In the context of a biological system, bifurcation theory describes how small changes in an input parameter can cause a bifurcation or qualitative change in the behavior of the system.
A real-time operating system ( RTOS) is an operating system (OS) for real-time computing applications that processes data and events that have critically defined time constraints. An RTOS is distinct from a time-sharing operating system, such as Unix, which manages the sharing of system resources with a scheduler, data buffers, or fixed task ...
Network science. A biological network is a method of representing systems as complex sets of binary interactions or relations between various biological entities. [ 1] In general, networks or graphs are used to capture relationships between entities or objects. [ 1]
Biological computers use biologically derived molecules — such as DNA and/or proteins — to perform digital or real computations . The development of biocomputers has been made possible by the expanding new science of nanobiotechnology. The term nanobiotechnology can be defined in multiple ways; in a more general sense, nanobiotechnology can ...
