title: Domain specific languages for cellular interactions.
abstract: Bioinformatics is the application of computer science techniques to problems in biology, and this paper explores one such application with great potential: the modeling of life cycles of autonomous, intercommunicating cellular systems using domain-specific programming languages (DSLs). We illustrate this approach for the simple photo-synthetic bacterium R. Sphaeroides with a DSL called CellSys embedded in the programming language Haskell.
