Theoretical distributed computing meets biology

Published:17 December 2012Publication History

ABSTRACT

In recent years, several works have demonstrated how the study of biology can benefit from an algorithmic perspective. This approach may be particularly useful in the context of distributed computing, since biological systems are often distributed in nature. As the study of algorithms is traditionally motivated by an engineering and technological point of view, the adaptation of ideas from theoretical distributed computing to biological systems is highly non-trivial and requires a delicate and careful treatment. In this talk, I discuss some of the recent research within this framework and suggests several challenging future directions.
