La Computación Molecular y, en concreto, la Computación con ADN, es una disciplina que se enmarca dentro del campo de investigación conocido como Computación Natural. Tiene como objetivo el desarrollo de modelos de computación inspirados en el comportamiento de las moléculas de ADN, y en las posibilidades que abren las técnicas de laboratorio...

Earlier solutions to decision problems by means of P systems used many counter objects to control the synchronization of different stages in a computation (usually as many counters as the stage must last in the worst case). In this paper we propose a way to replace those counters with some spacial objects for each stage. Furthermore,...

This paper is focused on the interplay between automated reasoning systems (as theoretical and formal devices to study the correctness of a program) and DNA computing (as practical devices to handle DNA strands to solve classical hard problems with laboratory techniques). To illustrate this work we have proven in the PVS proof checker, the...

This paper is a tribute to Prof. Mario de Jesús Pérez- Jiménez. An overview of modelling applications in membrane computing has been compiled, trying to narrate it from a historical perspective and including numerous bibliographical references. Since being exhaustive was obviously out of scope, this quick tour on almost two decades of...

The Rete algorithm is a well-known algorithm in rule-based production systems which builds directed acyclic graphs that represent higher-level rule sets. This allows the rule-based systems to avoid complete re-evaluation of all conditions of the rules each step in order to check the applicability of the rules and, therefore, the computational e...

One of the major challenges that current P systems simulators have to deal with is to be as efficient as possible. A P system is syntactically described as a membrane structure delimiting regions where multisets of objects evolve by means of evolution rules. According to that, on each computation step, the applicability of the rules for the...

Ballistic Deposition was proposed by Vold and Sutherland as a model for colloidal aggregation. These early works were later extended to simulate the process of vapor deposition. In general, Ballistic Deposition models involve (d + 1)-dimensional particles which rain down sequentially at random onto a d-dimensional substrate; when a particle...

The aim ofthis paper is to develop an executable prototype ofan unconventional model ofcomputation. Using the PVS verification system (an interactive environment for writing formal specifications and checking formal proofs), we formalize the restricted model, based on DNA, due to L. Adleman. Also, we design a formal molecular program in this...

Sevilla Carpets have already been used to compare di erent solutions of the Subset Sum problem: either designed in the framework of P systems with active membranes (both in the case of membrane division and membrane creation), and also another one in the framework of tissue-like P systems with cell division. Recently, the degree of parallelism...

Research interest within membrane computing is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary.In particular, one of the latest applications is fault diagnosis. The underlying mechanismwas conceived by bridging spiking neural P systems with fuzzy rule-based reasoning systems. Despite having a number of publications associated with it, this research...
