the meeting was productive:

the scheme of the input-module was discussed in order to establish a common understanding (illustrations should follow soon, either by dominic or zlatko)
system boundaries will definitely be PoPS
the actual heart of the module we called "regulator". the regulator as a black box stands for different possible implementation strategies to activate/repress the two different outputs selectively. here, the highest number of variants are possible:
- 2 gene: a, r -> parallel or serial
- 1 gene: a/r -> identity
- n gene: inverter+intermediate
we discussed different approaches for the regulator and carried out a little bio-brainstorming (well, mostly the biologists, that is).
the brainstorming lead to various valuable strategies that we divided into tasks for further literature investigation (tasks assigned to biologists at this point: giorgia, herve, christophe).
dominic will have to do the schematic and illustration together with zlatko and we plan to look more on the engineering side, i.e. the effects of delay, input or output difference in the regulator (however, dominic is busy with experiments until the meeting on thursday)
