\begin{chapter}{Introduction}
|
||||
Reaction Systems (RSs) are a successful computational framework inspired by biological system.
|
||||
The underlying idea is that the interactions between biochemical reactions as well as the functioning of single reactions are based on the mechanisms of facilitation and inhibition.
|
||||
|
||||
A Reaction System consists of a set of entities and a set of reactions over them. Each reaction produces some set of entities P (called products) if enabled, meaning if a set R (called reactants) is wholly present and if a set I (called inhibitors) of entities is completely absent.
|
||||
The use of inhibitors induces non-monotonic behaviors that are difficult to analyze.
|
||||
This work aims to build software that aids in the study and analysis of certain classes of Reaction Systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Entities can also be provided by an external context sequence to simulate \textit{in silico} biological experiment.
