Membrane Computing as a Modeling Framework. Cellular Systems Case Studies
Membrane computing is a branch of natural computing aiming
to abstract computing models from the structure and functioning of
the living cell, and from the way cells cooperate in tissues, organs, or
other populations of cells. This research area developed very fast, both
at the theoretical level and in what concerns the applications. After a
very short description of the domain, we mention here the main areas
where membrane computing was used as a framework for devising models
(biology and bio-medicine, linguistics, economics, computer science,
etc.), then we discuss in a certain detail the possibility of using membrane
computing as a high level computational modeling framework for
addressing structural and dynamical aspects of cellular systems. We close
with a comprehensive bibliography of membrane computing applications
