Summary:

This unique book is a collection of seven interdisciplinary surveys on modeling tumor dynamics and interactions between tumors and immune system. The goal is to provide an accessible, comprehensive report on the field and to help define a framework for future interdisciplinary research activity. Modeling and simulation of general behaviors of immune systems are also discussed. Each survey carefully covers a specialized field and provides a detailed description of the present state-of-the-art in research. The reader will be able to obtain essential information on the methodological approach used and on the models that are categorized and used. The book is an excellent resource and survey for applied mathematicians, mathematical biologists and biologists interested in modeling methods in immunology and related sciences.
