Abstract

Membrane Computing (MC) is part of the powerful trend in computer science known under the name of Natural Computing. Its goal is to abstract computing models from the structure and the functioning of the living cell. The present paper is a short and informal introduction to MC, presenting the basic ideas, the central (types of) results, and the main directions of research.
