Attributes and functions are meant to provide those extra features that allow to define different strategies to run a P system. Such a strategy relying on a bounded parallelism is presented using an operational approach and applying it for a case study presenting the basic model of quorum sensing for Vibrio fischeri bacteria. %@ 978-3-540-69088-7
