Membrane Computing: 13th International Conference, CMC 2012, Budapest, Hungary, August 28-31, 2012, Revised Selected Papers - Lecture Notes in Computer Science Erzsebet Csuhaj-varju 2013 edition

Jacket Description/Back: This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Membrane Computing, CMC 2012, held in Budapest, Hungary, in August 2012. The 21 revised selected papers presented together with 6 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 25 papers presented at the conference. The book also deals with membrane systems, also called P systems, which are distributed and parallel algebraic models processing multisets of objects in a localized manner (evolution rules and evolving objects are encapsulated into compartments delimited by membranes), with an essential role played by the communication among compartments and with the environment. Table of Contents: Invited Papers.- (Tissue) P Systems with Decaying Objects.- Alan Turing and John von Neumann - Their Brains and Their Computers.- Turing s Three Pioneering Initiatives and Their Interplays.- An Outline of MP Modeling Framework.- Turing Computability and Membrane Computing.- Membrane Systems and Hypercomputation.- Regular Papers.- Case-Study on the Influence of Noise to Log-Gain Principles for Flux Dynamic Discovery.- Asynchronous and Maximally Parallel Deterministic Controlled Non-cooperative P Systems Characterize NFIN and coNFIN.- Sequential P Systems with Regular Control.- Mobile Membranes with Objects on Surface as Colored Petri Nets.- On Structures and Behaviors of Spiking Neural P Systems and Petri Nets.- 2D P Colonies.- Fast Distributed DFS Solutions for Edge-Disjoint Paths in Digraphs.- A New Approach for Solving SAT by P Systems with Active Membranes.- Maintenance of Chronobiological Information by P System Mediated Assembly of Control Units for Oscillatory Waveforms and Frequency.- Spiking Neural P Systems with Functional Astrocytes.- The Efficiency of Tissue P Systems with Cell Separation Relies on the Environment.- DCBA: Simulating Population Dynamics P Systems with Proportional Object Distribution.- Membranes with Boundaries.- On Efficient Algorithms for SAT.- Multigraphical Membrane Systems Revisited.- An Analysis of Correlative and Static Causality in P Systems.- Sublinear-Space P Systems with Active Membranes.- Modelling Ecological Systems with the Calculus of Wrapped Compartments.- Observer/Interpreter P Systems.- Limits of the Power of Tissue P Systems with Cell Division.- Fast Hardware Implementations of P Systems."

She has coedited a number of Springer books: LNCS 2723, Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conf., GECCO 2003; LNCS 2950, Aspects of Molecular Computing, Essays Dedicated to Tom Head on the Occasion of His 70th Birthday (2004). Natasha has also contributed chapters in various Natural Computing books, and many journal and LNCS articles. Her journal publications cover her interests in both theoretical computer science and natural computing. Grzegorz Rozenberg is the editor of the Springer Natural Computing series; is one of the series editors of the Springer EATCS Texts in Theoretical Computer Science series; was until this year the editor of the Springer journal Natural Computing; is the editor of the Elsevier Theoretical Computer Science journal Track C (Natural Computing). He has also edited or authored dozens of Springer books over the last 30 years. He has authored hundreds of publications in theoretical computer science and natural computing, and has been involved in the organization of dozens of conferences in both communities. He has authored and editeddozens of LNCS volumes and monographs, across a range of theoretical computer science fields and also in the area of natural computing. He has also recently edited some relevant Natural Computing series and EATCS series books, such as: Modelling in Molecular Biology (2004); Computation in Living Cells (2004); DNA Computing -- New Computing Paradigms (Reprint 2005). He also coedited LNCS 2950, Aspects of Molecular Computing, Essays Dedicated to Tom Head on the Occasion of His 70th Birthday (2004).
