Book excerpt: Mathematical models have become invaluable tools for understanding the intricate dynamic behavior of complex biochemical and biological systems. Among computational strategies, logical modeling has been recently gaining interest as an alternative approach to address network dynamics. Due to its advantages, including scalability and independence of kinetic parameters, the logical modeling framework is becoming increasingly popular to study the dynamics of highly interconnected systems, such as cell cycle progression, T cell differentiation and gene regulation. Novel tools and standards have been developed to increase the interoperability of logical models, which can now be employ to respond a variety of biological questions. This Research Topic brings together the most recent and cutting-edge approaches in the area of logical modeling including, among others, novel biological applications, software development and model analysis techniques.
