Lecturer "Efficient Representation and Traversal of Molecular Systems"
Speaker Josep Carmona, Ph.D.

Abstract As the integration scale of microelectronics devices approaches nanometer dimensions, the exponential improvement on speed and integration is expected to slow down. This pleads for the investigation of alternative computation schemes that can be the basis for the computers of the future.
In this talk we will look at molecular systems as engines that can perform computation. Due to the huge amount of molecules involved in such systems, methods for their analysis may suffer from the state explosion problem that arises when one tries to enumerate the states of the system. However, such systems can be efficiently represented with implicit techniques in computer science, which have been proven successful for modeling concurrent systems. Employing simple interaction rules between molecules, we will show how their traversal can be used to specify molecular devices.
