The LNCS journal Transactions on Computational Systems Biology is devoted to inter- and
multidisciplinary research in the fields of computer science and life sciences and supports a
paradigmatic shift in the techniques from computer and information science to cope with the new
challenges arising from the systems oriented point of view of biological phenomena. This the
13th Transactions on Computational Systems Biology volume guest edited by Ralph-Johan Back
Ion Petre and Erik de Vink focuses on Computational Models for Cell Processes and features a
number of carefully selected and enhanced contributions initially presented at the CompMod
workshop which took place in Eindhoven The Netherlands in November 2009. From different
points of view and following various approaches the papers cover a wide range of topics in
systems biology addressing the dynamics and the computational principles of this emerging
field.
