Enhancement of the Computational Efficiency of Membrane Computing Models
Abstract
Part I: The researchers developed a comprehensive transitional P-system Membrane Computing model. Membrane computing consists of cell-like membranes placed inside a unique skin membrane. In regions delimited by a membrane structure, cells are placed in multisets of objects which evolve according to evolution rules associated with the regions. The researchers considered multi-sets of objects, usually multi-sets of symbols, objects and a set of evolution rules, which are placed inside regions delimited by membranes. The evolution between system configurations is completed non-deterministically by applying rules synchronously in a maximum parallel manner. Part II: The researchers applied the P system constructs described in Part I to provide end-to-end secure mobile ad hoc networks as Distributed P systems consisting of migrating membrane agents. Membrane networks were modeled, with migration components and a guardian membrane that regulates interactions between the processing component and the external environment. Membranes act as filters that control access to the associated site and rely on the established notion of trust between sites. The researchers developed steps necessary to control the actions of incoming agents and encompass complex policies, wherein the number of actions a membrane agent is allowed to perform and the order of actions are prioritized.
