Abstract

Membrane computing is an young but already well developed branch of natural computing, having as its goal to abstract computing models from the structure and the functioning of the living cell. The present paper is an informal introduction to membrane computing, presenting the basic ideas, some central (mathematical) results, and the main areas of application.
