| This special issue of the International Journal of Foundations of Computer Sci- ence collects selected and carefully reviewed papers whose preliminary short versions were presented at the Prague International Workshop on Membrane Computing, held in Prague on June 2nd, 2008. The workshop, organized as a satellite event of the conference DNA14, was open to all types of submissions concerning mem- brane computing and brought together contributions motivated from both discrete mathematics and cellular biology. Membrane systems, also called P systems, are bio-inspired computing models belonging to a broader family of so-called biological or natural computing mod- els. Models from this family are inspired by the algorithmic processes observed in nature. Particularly, P systems are trying to capture computational aspects of cell metabolism and information interchange. More speci¯cally, they focus on selective particle recognition by membranes, controlled transport through protein channels, cell metabolism or membrane division and dissolution. These processes are modeled in P systems by means of parallel multiset processing in separate cell- like regions. The aim of membrane computing models is to identify operations which give to cellular systems their information-processing strength and to prepare their possible implementation in vitro or in silico. This motivation is complemented by recent successful attempts to use P systems as models of biological phenomena as mechanosensitive channels, bacteria respiration, photosynthesis or as the p53 signaling pathways. | |
