Abstract :
Summary form only given. Endocytosis is the process of moving items that are outside of the cell into the cytoplasm of the cell. Exocytosis is the process of moving items from the cytoplasm of the cell to the outside of the cell. These processes are abstracted by systems of mobile membranes. In my talk I will discuss the modelling and computational power of mobile membranes. First I will show how mobile membranes can be used to model the behaviour of dendritic cells in the human immune system. Then I will present results I have obtained which indicate the computational power of systems of mobile membranes.
