This is the first book on DNA computing, a molecular approach that may revolutionize computing-replacing silicon with carbon and microchips with DNA molecules.Expand
This handbook provides both a comprehensive survey of available knowledge and established research topics, and a guide to recent developments in the field, covering the subject from theory to applications.Expand
We brie y present (basic ideas, some examples, classes of spiking neural P systems, some results concerning their power, research topics) a recently initiated branch of membrane computing with motivation from neural computing.Expand
We propose a class of P systems whose membranes are the main active components, in the sense that they directly mediate the evolution and the communication of objects.Expand
This book investigates two major systems: firstly, cooperating distributed grammar systems, where the grammars work on one common sequential form and the cooperation is realized by the control of the sequence of activegrammars; secondly, parallel communicating grammar systems where each grammar works on its own sequential forms and cooperation is done by means of communicating between Grammars.Expand
The present paper presents the basic ideas of computing with membranes and some fundamental properties (mostly concerning the computational power and efficiency) of P systems of various types.Expand
This is a comprehensive (and friendly) introduction to membrane computing (MC), meant to offer both computer scientists and non-computer scientists an up-to-date overview of the field.Expand
