Harmony search is an emerging meta-heuristic optimization algorithm that is inspired by
musical improvisation processes, and it can solve various optimization problems. Membrane …

This paper presents fundamental distributed algorithms over membrane systems with
antiport carriers. We describe distributed algorithms for collecting and dispersing …

Our group's recent quest has been to use P systems to model parallel and distributed
algorithms. Several framework extensions are recalled or detailed, in particular, modular …

P systems is a new model of computation, inspired by natural processes, that has a
distributive nature. By exploring this distributive nature of P systems, we have built a purely …

The design of multimedia platforms is becoming increasingly more complex. Modern
multimedia systems need to support a large number of applications or functions in a single …

The link-calculus has been recently proposed as a process calculus for representing
interactions that are open (ie that the number of processes may vary), and multiparty (ie that …

We propose an improved generic version of P modules, an extensible framework for
recursive composition of P systems. We further provide a revised P solution for the Byzantine …

We first propose a modular framework for recursive composition of P systems. This modular
approach provides encapsulation and information hiding, facilitating the design of P …

We consider the problem of synchronizing the activity of all the membranes of a P system.
After pointing at the connection with a similar problem dealt with in the field of cellular …

In this paper we consider four restricted cases of the generalised communicating P systems
and study their computational power, by providing improved results, with respect to the …
