Membrane Computing
Membrane Computing (a branch of natural computing) is a research area devoted to the study of computations or algorithms that are inspired by the communication and interaction of molecular cells (biology). A successful type of membrane computing was pioneered by Gheorghe Pãun in the form of P systems. Several CDMTCS members are using the P system model (or embraced extensions of it) for the development and study of distributed and parallel computations.
