This volume presents interdisciplinary approaches to the representation of the morphogenesis of living systems. It introduces concepts from complex systems theory and explores how these concepts lead to quantitative approaches of living systems dynamics.

This contributed volume presents interdisciplinary approaches which currently revolutionize the representation of the morphogenesis of living systems. The book introduces concepts from complex systems theory and explores how these concepts lead to quantitative approaches of living systems dynamics. It discusses whether new trends in the quantitative observation of living systems indicate a new paradigm of formal and applied epistemology for the reconstruction of living systems multiscale dynamics. The volume collects a number of articles from interdisciplinary teams, most of the authors were contributors to the MLS09 or MLS10 conferences in Paris.
