One-Membrane P Systems with Activation and Blocking of Rules
We introduce new possibilities to control the application of rules based on
the preceding applications, which can be de ned in a general way for (hierarchical) P
systems and the main known derivation modes. Computational completeness can be
obtained even for one-membrane P systems with non-cooperative rules and using both
activation and blocking of rules, especially for the set modes of derivation.
When we allow the application of rules to in
uence the application of rules in previous
derivation steps, applying a non-conservative semantics for what we consider to be a
derivation step, we can even \go beyond Turing"
(Tissue) P Systems with Vesicles of Multisets
We consider tissue P systems working on vesicles of multisets with the very
simple operations of insertion, deletion, and substitution of single objects.
With the whole multiset being enclosed in a vesicle, sending it to a target
cell can be indicated in those simple rules working on the multiset. As
derivation modes we consider the sequential mode, where exactly one rule is
applied in a derivation step, and the set maximal mode, where in each
derivation step a non-extendable set of rules is applied. With the set maximal
mode, computational completeness can already be obtained with tissue P systems
having a tree structure, whereas tissue P systems even with an arbitrary
communication structure are not computationally complete when working in the
sequential mode. Adding polarizations (-1, 0, 1 are sufficient) allows for
obtaining computational completeness even for tissue P systems working in the
sequential mode.Comment: In Proceedings AFL 2017, arXiv:1708.0622

Engineering Parallel String Sorting
We discuss how string sorting algorithms can be parallelized on modern
multi-core shared memory machines. As a synthesis of the best sequential string
sorting algorithms and successful parallel sorting algorithms for atomic
objects, we first propose string sample sort. The algorithm makes effective use
of the memory hierarchy, uses additional word level parallelism, and largely
avoids branch mispredictions. Then we focus on NUMA architectures, and develop
parallel multiway LCP-merge and -mergesort to reduce the number of random
memory accesses to remote nodes. Additionally, we parallelize variants of
multikey quicksort and radix sort that are also useful in certain situations.
Comprehensive experiments on five current multi-core platforms are then
reported and discussed. The experiments show that our implementations scale
very well on real-world inputs and modern machines.Comment: 46 pages, extension of "Parallel String Sample Sort" arXiv:1305.115
A study of systems implementation languages for the POCCNET system
The results are presented of a study of systems implementation languages for the Payload Operations Control Center Network (POCCNET). Criteria are developed for evaluating the languages, and fifteen existing languages are evaluated on the basis of these criteria
Introducing the Concept of Activation and Blocking of Rules in the General Framework for Regulated Rewriting in Sequential Grammars
We introduce new possibilities to control the application of rules based on
the preceding application of rules which can be de ned for a general model of sequential
grammars and we show some similarities to other control mechanisms as graph-controlled
grammars and matrix grammars with and without applicability checking as well as gram-
mars with random context conditions and ordered grammars. Using both activation and
blocking of rules, in the string and in the multiset case we can show computational com-
pleteness of context-free grammars equipped with the control mechanism of activation
and blocking of rules even when using only two nonterminal symbols
Multimission Modular Spacecraft Ground Support Software System (MMS/GSSS) state-of-the-art computer systems/ compatibility study
The compatibility of the Multimission Modular Spacecraft (MMS) Ground Support Software System (GSSS), currently operational on a ModComp IV/35, with the VAX 11/780 system is discussed. The compatibility is examined in various key areas of the GSSS through the results of in depth testing performed on the VAX 11/780 and ModComp IV/35 systems. The compatibility of the GSSS with the ModComp CLASSIC is presented based upon projections from ModComp supplied literature
Playing with Derivation Modes and Halting Conditions
In the area of P systems, besides the standard maximally parallel derivation
mode, many other derivation modes have been investigated, too. In this paper, many
variants of hierarchical P systems and tissue P systems using different derivation modes
are considered and the effects of using di erent derivation modes, especially the maximally
parallel derivation modes and the maximally parallel set derivation modes, on the
generative and accepting power are illustrated. Moreover, an overview on some control
mechanisms used for (tissue) P systems is given.
Furthermore, besides the standard total halting mode, we also consider different halting
conditions such as unconditional halting and partial halting and explain how the use
of different halting modes may considerably change the computing power of P systems
and tissue P systems
