Again from the same philosophy of verbal expression:-
Molecular Systems Biology
Molecular Scale: At the molecular level there are physical properties (you can say as processes) and hence the chemical properties.I feel all chemistry is a manifestation of physics.
Systems: An orthogonal view is component-level (molecular-level). However at the system's level especially when you are collectively sayin 'Molecular systems', it means integrated dynamic(behavioural) and static(structural) analysis/analysis of segregated molecular processes(forming the system).
So in all if you coin Molecular Systems Biology.
While Computational Systems Biology (CSB)
Systems--> When you say systems (a pure unambiguous term) meaning some input /stimuli (biologically speaking) produces some output (response). However if the system is robust, we may not see any output/ response (biologically speaking). In that case this input may be captured by some internal properties of the system.
Systems Biology: If you take the systems components to be some biological processes.
When you add the term of Computational it becomes the automated analyses involving the databasing of experimental data, then making models/simulations/validations by employing some computation. However this CSB can have degenerated standpoints because bilogy has got several fine standpoints. This computation could be simple software or could be a complex algorithm borrowed from computersciences.
Finally I feel like CSB encapsulates MSB, because MSB is present in CSB as stored data and/or knowledge.
Disclaimer: Its my personal understanding of terminology rather axioms based on my vocabulary inference. This is replied as a thought.
I thank two of the posts from Animesh and Gourinath.
I feel that computational systems biology is a take from molecular systems biology as biology might have reckoned "molecules" first, then the whole system.
Owing to data deluge, we have raised computational systems biology through computational biology.
In conclusion, this impeccable subject has much to do to peg thoughts on number of orphan genes in the organisms.
By pure definitions, I feel, one is the study based on computer simulations and other the experiments.
