Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Towards a Petri net semantics for membrane systems

Abstract

We consider the modelling of the behaviour of membrane systems using Petri nets. First, a systematic, structural, link is established between a basic class of membrane systems and Petri nets. To capture the compartmentisation of membrane systems, localities are proposed as an extension of Petri nets. This leads to a locally maximal concurrency semantics for Petri nets. We indicate how processes for these nets could be defined which should be of use in order to describe what is actually going on during a computation of a membrane system.
