their length sets or directly as sets of strings. We brieﬂy recall here this relationship, with
some details about certain recent developments. In particular, we discuss the possibility
to associate a control word with a computation in a P system. An improvement of a result
concerning the control words of spiking neural P systems is given: regular languages can
be obtained as control words of such systems with only four neurons (and with usual
extended rules: no more spikes are produces than consumed). Several research topics are
pointed out.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
