Membrane Computing: A General View

We give an informal presentation of the basic ideas, results, and applications of membrane computing, a branch of natural computing inspired by the structure and the functioning of biological cells, cell tissues, or colonies of cells. Membrane computing has given rise to computing models (called P systems) that are distributed and parallel, which process multisets of objects in compartments def...
