The study of biological systems is complex and of great importance. There exist numerous approaches to signal transduction processes, including symbolic modeling of cellular adaptation. The use of formal methods for computational biological systems eases the analysis of cellular models and the establishment of the causes and consequences of certain cellular situations associated with diseases. In this paper, we define an application of logic modeling with rewriting logic and soft set theory. Our approach to decision-making with soft sets offers a novel strategy that complements the standard strategies. We implement a metalevel strategy to control and guide the rewriting process of the Maude rewriting engine. In particular, we adopt the mathematical methods to capture imprecision, vagueness, and uncertainty in the available data. Using this new strategy, we propose an extension in the biological symbolic models of pathway logic. Our ultimate aim is to automatically determine the rules that are most appropriate and adjusted to reality in dynamic systems using decision-making with incomplete soft sets.
