A basic P system, called kernel P system (kP system for short), covering features of different P systems introduced and studied so far is defined and discussed. It is a relatively low level specification system aiming to cover features exhibited by most of the problems modelled so far using P system formalisms. A small set of rules and specific...

As unconventional computation matures and non-standard programming frameworks are demonstrated, the need for formal veri cation will become more prevalent. This is so because \programming" in unconventional substrates is di cult. In this paper we show how conventional veri cation tools can be used to verify unconventional programs implementing...

The newly introduced Kernel P systems offer an unitary and elegant way of integrating established features of existing P system variants with new elements with potential value for formal modelling. This paper presents a case study illustrating the expressive power and efficiency of kernel P systems on the 3-Col problem. The use of...

A basic P system, called kernel P system4 (kP system for short), combining features of di erent P systems introduced and studied so far is de ned and discussed. The structure of such systems is de ned as a dynamic graph, similar to tissue-like P systems, the objects are organised as multisets, and the rules in each compartment, rewriting...

This paper explores the modelling capacities of a new class of P systems, called kernel P systems (kP systems). A specific language for describing kP systems and its translation into Promela, the specification language of Spin, are described. This Promela specification has been further used for simulation and property verification with the Spin...

This paper presents an integrated approach for model simulation, property extraction and formal veri cation of P systems, illustrated on a tissue P system with active membranes solving the 3-colouring problem. The paper focuses on this problem and reports the invariants and the properties extracted and veri ed using a series of tools (Daikon,...
