MATHEMATICAL METHODS AND APPLIED COMPUTINGPlenary Lecture 3Monte Carlo Cellular Automaton Simulation in Biomedical Science:Cancer Research <strong>and</strong> Min Protein DynamicsProfessor Yongwimon LenburyDepartment of Mathematics, Faculty of ScienceMahidol University, Thail<strong>and</strong>Centre of Excellence in Mathematics, PERDOCommission on Higher Education, Thail<strong>and</strong>Email: scylb@yahoo.comCo-Author:Wannapong TriumpoDepartment of Physics, Faculty of ScienceMahidol University, Thail<strong>and</strong>Abstract: It has become well known that simulation can be <strong>us</strong>ed to investigate complex biomedical systems insituations where traditional methodologies are difficult or too costly to employ. Once the model, constructed torepresent important aspects of the system under evaluation, has been validated, it may be <strong>us</strong>ed to investigate theeffects of differences in the system inputs, changes in initial conditions, or its environment, <strong>and</strong> alterations in thesystem structure. Many recent advances in technology, such as the Next Generation Internet, high b<strong>and</strong>widthcommunication, object oriented software, distributed <strong>and</strong> parallel processing, <strong>and</strong> visualizing techniques, have greatlyenhanced the power <strong>and</strong> expressiveness of simulation. We give two examples where Monte Carlo cellular automatonsimulation is applied to study cancer growth <strong>and</strong> Min protein dynamics.ISSN: 1790-2769 22 ISBN: 978-960-474-124-3
