We introduce a new computability model, of a distributed parallel type, based on the notion
of a membrane structure. Such a structure consists of several cell-like membranes …

Like quantum computing or DNA computing, membrane computing is an unconventional
model of computation associated with a new computing paradigm. The field of membrane …

This is the first book on DNA computing, a molecular approach that may revolutionize
computing-replacing silicon with carbon and microchips with DNA molecules. The book …

Spiking Neural P Systems are Neural System models characterized by the fact that each
neuron mimics a biological cell and the communication between neurons is based on …

Starting from the way the inter-cellular communication takes place by means of protein
channels (and also from the standard knowledge about neuron functioning), we propose a …

This paper describes a probabilistic syntactic approach to the detection and recognition of
temporally extended activities and interactions between multiple agents. The fundamental …

Spiking neural P systems are a class of third generation neural networks belonging to the
framework of membrane computing. Spiking neural P systems with communication on …

At the turning of the millennium, a switch in computing technology is forecasted and looked
for. Two main directions of research, both based on quite unconventional ideas are most …

Marcus Contextual Grammars is the first monograph to present a class of grammars
introduced about three decades ago, based on the fundamental linguistic phenomenon of …

Emergence is a concept widely used in the sciences, the arts, and engineering. Some effort
has been made to formalize it, but it is used in various contexts with different meanings, and …
