Abstract

Mathematical models are useful in different fields to provide a deeper and more insightful understanding of various systems and notions. We refer here to the formal description of mobility in computer science. The first formalism in computer science able to describe mobility is the π-calculus [16]. It was followed by ambient calculus [6]. A biologically-inspired version of ambient calculus is given by bioambients [19] and several brane calculi [5]. On the other hand, systems of mobile membranes [13] represent other formalisms with mobility in the framework of membrane computing.
