Tracing Some Open Problems in Membrane Computing
Abstract. Membrane computing is a branch of natural computing aiming to
abstract computing models from the structure and functioning of the living cell,
and from the way cells cooperate in tissues, organs, or other populations of
cells. This research area developed very fast, both at the theoretical level and
in what concerns the applications. During the almost ten years since membrane
computing was initiated, several open problems were circulated, sometimes in
comprehensive lists prepared for meetings in this area. The present notes intend
to survey the research related to some of these problems, mentioning both
progresses made in solving them and questions which still wait for research
efforts.
