Journal of Membrane Computing, 2 (4), 392-402.2523-8906https://hdl.handle.net/11441/111864P system simulators are critical tools to enable them as formal modeling framework for real-life applications. Such simulators abstract the concept of P systems in various ways, depending on the needs of the users and the requirements of the specific application. We identify three main levels of abstraction: graphical user interfaces, simulation engines and parallel imple-mentations. In this paper, we survey the state of the art at these levels and discuss the main challenges under consideration for future developments.application/pdf10engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Membrane ComputingSimulationP-LinguaMeCoSimPMCGPUParallelisminfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess10.1007/s41965-020-00056-w
