This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Membrane Computing, WMC 2009, held in Curtea de Arges, Romania, during August 24 to 27, 20
Part of the broader research field of natural computing, Membrane Computing is an area within computing science that aims to abstract computing ideas and models from the structure and functioning of
Membrane systems are a new class of distributed and parallel model of computation inspired by the subdivision of living cells into compartments delimited by membranes. Their hierarchal internal struc
Membrane Computing was introduced as a computational paradigm in Natural Computing. The models introduced, called Membrane (or P) Systems, provide a coherent platform to describe and study living cell
This book thoroughly investigates the underlying theoretical basis of membrane computing models, and reveals their latest applications. In addition, to date there have been no illustrative case studie
"This book explores membrane computing in the context of the fast developing field of robotics and presents the fundamental concepts of decentralized control, local interaction, stigmergy, and emergin
Explores the possible use of cellular processes and quantum physics to develop the computer technology of the future. The chapter on DNA computing discusses Adleman's experiment, sticker systems and
