Secondary title:	Qualitative analysis of biological oscillators as processing structures
Secondary abstract:	Recently there is a certain tendency in the field of computer science to find alternative processing platforms, which would replace the conventional ones that are starting to reach their limits in the meaning of components' size and speed. Computer science is trying to avoid its dependency on traditional electronic components. One of such alternatives is also processing in biological systems. Whatever the future processing platform might be, computer science will most likely always need a component which would synchronize the processing elements. One of the basic elements for synchronization is an oscillator. Oscillator, i.e. repressilator, was already realized as a biological system using gene regulatory networks. Different deterministic models describing a repressilator will be presented in this work. They will be used in order to qualitatively analyze repressilators with different numbers of repressors and different binding cooperativity. Using the results of this analysis different models as well as different sizes of repressilators for each model will be compared among each other.
