Abstract

The dynamic nature of biological systems' structure, and the continuous evolution of their components require new modelling approaches. In this paper it will be investigated how these systems composed of many dynamic components can be formally modelled as well as how their configurations can be altered, thus affecting the communication between parts. We use two different formal methods, communicating X-machines and population P systems, both with dynamic structures. It will be shown that new modelling approaches are required in order to capture the complex and dynamic nature of these systems.
