The models introduced, called Membrane (or P) Systems, provide a coherent platform to describe and study living cells as computational systems. Membrane Systems have been investigated for their computational aspects and employed to model problems in other fields, like: Computer Science, Linguistics, Biology, Economy, Computer Graphics, Robotics, etc. Their inherent parallelism, heterogeneity and intrinsic versatility allow them to model a broad range of processes and phenomena, being also an efficient means to solve and analyze problems in a novel way.

Membrane Computing has been used to model biological systems, becoming with time a thorough modeling paradigm comparable, in its modeling and predicting capabilities, to more established models in this area. This book is the result of the need to collect, in an organic way, different facets of this paradigm.

The chapters of this book, together with the web pages accompanying them, present different applications of Membrane Systems to Biology. Deterministic, non-deterministic and stochastic systems paired with different algorithms and methodologies show the full potential of this framework. 

The book is addressed to researchers interested in applications of discrete biological models and the interplay between Membrane Systems and other approaches to analyze complex systems.

This handbook provides both a comprehensive survey of available knowledge and established research topics, and a guide to recent developments in the field, covering the subject from theory to applications. The handbook is suitable both for introducing novices to this area of research, and as a main source of reference for active researchers. It sets out the necessary biological and formal background, with the introductory chapter serving as a gentle introduction to and overview of membrane computing. Individual chapters, written by leading researchers in membrane computing, present the state of the art of all main r`search trends and include extensive bibliographies.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="6.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>13</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paolo Milazzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mario J.

The models considered, called membrane systems (P systems), are parallel, distributed computing models, processing multisets of symbols in cell-like compartmental architectures. In many applications membrane systems have considerable advantages – among these are their inherently discrete nature, parallelism, transparency, scalability and nondeterminism.

In dedicated chapters, leading experts explain most of the applications of membrane computing reported so far, in biology, computer science, computer graphics and linguistics. The book also contains detailed reviews of the software tools used to simulate P systems.

Within the First Joint Meeting between the RSME and the AMS, held in Sevilla, from June 18 to June 21, 2004, a Special Session entitled Biomolecular Mathematics was organized by Fernando Guzmán and Tom Head, from Binghamton University (USA), Carlos Martín-Vide, from University Rovira i Virgili of Tarragona (Spain), and Mario J. Pérez Jiménez, from University of Sevilla (Spain). 
To that Session were invited, as speakers, Alessandra Carbone (Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques), Rudolf Freund (Technische Universitaet Wien), Tero Harju (University of Turku), Mike Holcombe (University of Sheffield), Gheorghe Paun (Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy), and Rani Siromoney (Madra Christian College). Following the conference presentations by the invited researchers, four talks were given, with the session being closed by a discussion of Recent results in Natural Computing. The title of this volume is intended to reflect the spirit of the last act that took place in the Special Session of Biomolecular Mathematics. The main goal of the volume is to present recent results in such research areas as evolutionary computing, molecular computing, and membrane computing, all of which belong to the emerging area of of Natural Computing, which is concerned with both the computing taking place in Nature and the new methods of computing inspired by Nature. 
All participants in the above mentioned Session of the Joint Meeting were invited to collaborate in this volume, as well as other prominent researchers belonging to the field of Natural Computing that could not attend the Special Session. 
We have collected 13 papers by 20 authors in the present volume. We hope that the papers collected here contribute to deepen the study of several topics in Natural Computing, and to strengthen some of the emerging lines in this field. 
We would like to thank all the authors for their good attitude towards participating in the elaboration of this book, as well as for the quality of the papers presented. They are the responsible and true editors of this publication. We also thank all who have had to decline our invitation because of their busy research agendas.

Sus autores son Daniel Díaz Pernil, Juan Antonio Nepomuceno Chamorro y Antonio Jesús Ramos Espina, y los contenidos de cada uno de los capítulos se corresponden con el trabajo de investigación que cada uno de ellos ha presentado para la obtención de los 12 créditos de la fase de investigación del Programa de Doctorado Lógica, Computación e Inteligencia Artificial, adscrito al Departamento de Ciencias de la Computación e Inteligencia Artificial de la Universidad de Sevilla 

El primer capítulo se titula Combinatoria en modelos moleculares sin memoria basados en ADN. Aplicaciones, y el objetivo fundamental es el desarrollo de una teoría de la combinatoria en modelos moleculares sin memoria basados en ADN, y su aplicación a la resolución eficiente de problemas NP-completos en dicho marco computacional. 

En el segundo capítulo se presenta una introducción bastante completa a la Computación Cuántica, desde el análisis de las ideas que subyacen en el modelo, hasta la exposición de ejemplos que ilustren su funcionamiento, pasando por una exhaustiva exposición de los elementos básicos de la mecánica cuántica que son necesarios para comprender el nuevo modelo. 

En el tercer capítulo se aborda un tema especialmente interesante de los modelos celulares con membranas; concretamente el uso de recursos precomputados a la hora de obtener buenas soluciones de problemas presuntamente intratables desde el punto de vista de la Complejidad Computacional clásica. En este capítulo se presenta un primer sistema celular que usa recursos precomputados, siguiendo las ideas de E. Czeiler, se estudia dicho modelo como un dispositivo reconocedor de lenguajes, y se describen soluciones de dos problemas de decisión (el test de primalidad y el problema de la satisfactibilidad de la lógica proposicional) en este nuevo marco. 

Este libro debe ser considerado como una nueva aportación al estudio de los modelos de computación no convencionales. A menos que se pruebe la igualdad de las clases de complejidad P y NP, estos modelos constituyen hoy día una alternativa indispensable a los modelos convencionales cuya implementación ordinaria está basada en la manipulación electrónica del silicio, debido a las limitaciones físicas que tienen estos dispositivos.
