	abstract = {Many important steps in the history of computer science are related to and inspired from {\textquotedblleft}computations" taking
place in living cells and organisms. In the last decades this became a mainstream research direction {\textendash} not to say
a fashion, with important and well established areas, such as evolutionary computing and neural computing, and
with exciting new areas, such as DNA and membrane (cellular) computing. Bio-inspired computing (hence in the
benefit of computer science) has a counterpart in using computers (more general, computing theory) in biology,
and this gave rise to several research directions, such as bio-informatics, system biology, computational biology,
etc.},
