Preface
The design of formal calculi in which the fundamental concepts underlying interactive systems can be described and studied has been a central theme of theoretical computer science over the last two decades. In this book we refer to the formal description of mobility in computer science by using π -calculus, ambient calculus, bioambients, brane calculi and systems of mobile membranes. In process algebra the moving entities are the links (π -calculus), the ambients (ambient calculus and bio-ambients) and the branes (brane calculi). In membrane systems the movement is provided by rules inspired by endocytosis and exocytosis. Cell movement is a dynamic phenomenon that is essential to a variety of biological processes (e.g., immune response). In Chapter 1: Mobility in Process Calculi we refer to the formal description of mobility in process calculi [52]. When expressing m
