Membrane Computing: International Workshop, WMC-CdeA 2002, Curtea de Arges, Romania, August 19-23, 2002, Revised Papers: 2597 (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) - Softcover

Reseña del editor

This volume originated in the Workshop on Membrane Computing, WMC- CdeA 2002, which took place in Curtea de Arge¸ s, Romania, during August 19- 23, 2002.This was the third annual workshop held in Curtea de Arge¸s.The ?rst one, Workshop on Multiset Processing, WMP-CdeA 2000, took place in August 2000, and the proceedings were published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, volume 2235.The second one, Workshop on Membrane Comp- ing, WMC-CdeA 2001, took place in August 2001, and selected papers were published as a special issue of Fundamenta Informaticae, volume 49, numbers 1-3, 2002. The aim of these workshops is to provide a stimulating environment for - searchers working in the area covered by a given workshop, so that existing sci- ti?c collaborations can be strengthened, and new collaborations (and friendships) can be initiated.Indeed, all three workshops held up to now were of such ch- acter, with very international attendance and collaboration taking place across national and scienti?c boundaries.

Reseña del editor

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the International Workshop on Membrane Computing, WMC-CdeA 2002, held in Curtea de Arges, Romania, in August 2002.

The 29 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and revision; some were especially solicited for inclusion in the book after the workshop. Most papers address membrane systems and membrane computing from the point of view of theoretical computer science; some papers solve open problems and present new approaches, and others provide mathematical and biological background. All in all, the book presents the state of the art in membrane computing.
