Comparison of selected performances of biological and electronic information processing structures

We present the information processing perspective on biological systems. Several metrics, similar to the ones used in digital electronic circuits, are introduced. These metrics allow us to compare biological information processing structures with their electronic counterparts, to define the ones with the best dynamical properties, analyse their compatibility and most importantly, automatize their design. Regarding the metric values obtained and used on a simple example, target applications of synthetic information processing biological structures are discussed. Streszczenie. W artykule opisano zagadnienie przeplywu informacji w systemach biologicznych. Zastosowano tu odwzorowanie na elementach i obwodach elektronicznych, co pozwolilo na analize ich wlasności, w tym dynamicznych oraz zautomatyzowanie projektowania takich modeli. Zawarto takze omowienie otrzymanych wynikow badan. (Porownanie wybranych parametrow struktur przeplywu informacji w systemie biologicznych i elektronicznym).
