The design of formal calculi in which fundamental concepts
underlying interactive systems can be described and studied has
been a central theme of theoretical computer science in recent
decades, while membrane computing, a rule-based formalism inspired
by biological cells, is a more recent field that belongs to the
general area of natural computing. This is the first book to
establish a link between these two research directions while
treating mobility as the central topic. In the first chapter the
authors offer a formal description of mobility in process calculi,
noting the entities that move: links ( -calculus), ambients
(ambient calculi) and branes (brane calculi). In the second chapter
they study mobility in the framework of natural computing. The
authors define several systems of mobile membranes in which the
movement inside a spatial structure is provided by rules inspired
by endocytosis and exocytosis. They study their computational power
in comparison with the classical notion of Turing computability and
their efficiency in algorithmically solving hard problems in
polynomial time. The final chapter deals with encodings,
establishing links between process calculi and membrane computing
so that researchers can share techniques between these fields. The
book is suitable for computer scientists working in concurrency and
in biologically inspired formalisms, and also for mathematically
inclined scientists interested in formalizing moving agents and
biological phenomena. The text is supported with examples and
exercises, so it can also be used for courses on these topics.
