Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This proposal is aimed at defining and studying a variant of the X-machine paradigm coupled with the main features of the natural computing based models extracted out especially from P systems. From a theoretical perspective the computational power of these mechanisms, the properties of the family of languages associated, syntactical complexity properties and suggested hierarchies of languages defined will be investigated. By keeping the model suitable for system specification and testing and by adding new encapsulation features and parallel behaviour it will be not only a well defined part of P system theory, which itself is a component of natural computing theory, with a new modelling view, but it also turns out to be adequate for expressing more complex systems, object oriented or agent based. A tool supporting the specification and animation of systems modelled using these mechanisms will be developed.
