Reachability analysis in the k-family

The $\Kappa$-calculus is a formalism for modelling molecular
biology where molecules
are terms with internal states and with sites, bonds are represented
by shared names labelling sites, and reactions are represented by
rewriting rules. Depending on the shape of the rewrite rules, several
dialects of the calculus can be obtained. We analyze the
expressive power of some of these dialects by focusing on the thin
boundary between decidability and undecidabiity for problems like
reachability and coverability. This analysis is a first step towards
the design of algorithms for the qualitative analysis of languages
of the $\Kappa$-family.
