A Simulator for Confluent P Systems

Abstract

Software simulators for P system are nowadays the main tool to carry out experiments in the field of Membrane Computing. Although the simulation of a P system is a quite complex task, current simulators have been successfully used for pedagogical purposes and also as assistant tools for researchers. Up to now, simulators have always been designed to deal with a specific model of P systems. In this paper we present a new simulator which is not oriented to only one model of systems, but it allows the researcher to experiment with many existing models or even to create new ones.
