A Membrane Computing System Mapped on an Asynchronous, Distributed Computational Environment

摘要

We show how to simulate a membrane system on a (simulated) distributed and bio-inspired computational architecture (BME). The advantages of this approach are the ease of representing each membrane with a processing element and the perspective of exploiting the expected nano-technological implementation of such an architecture. By combining these two non-conventional computing architectures, we touch interesting subproblems, such as the trade-off between being synchronous (P systems) and asynchronous (BME), or between structural adjacency and position-independent communications.
