摘要
As a new branch of natural computing, membrane computing is a hot cross-discipline topic, which involves computer science, mathematics, biology and artificial intelligence, etc.. This paper outlines the recent development of membrane computing. A simple membrane system is taken for an example to introduce basic concepts and fundamental principles of this area. The theoretical development is surveyed from cell-like, tissue-like, neural-like P systems and their computational power and efficiency. The prospect and directions are discussed by summarizing research fruits of applications in the literature. The software/hardware implementation for P systems is analyzed to generalize the research advance. Finally, some important online resources, hot topics and further research paths are provided.
