Abstract

In this paper we consider the problem of representation and measurement in genetic circuits, and investigate how they can affect the reliability of engineered systems. We propose a design scheme, based on the notion of continuous computation, which addresses these issues. We illustrate the methodology by showing how a concept from computer architecture (namely, branch prediction) may be implemented in vivo, using a distributed approach. Simulation results confirm the in-principle feasibility of our method, and offer valuable insights into its future laboratory validation.
