Software systems are becoming more open, distributed, pervasive, and connected. In such systems, the relationships between loosely-coupled application elements become non-determini...
Abstract. Membrane computing is a branch of molecular computing that aims to develop models and paradigms that are biologically motivated. It identifies an unconventional computin...
Music information retrieval is characterized by a number of various user information needs. Systems are being developed that allow searchers to find melodies, rhythms, genres, an...
Abstract. The original definition of P-systems calls for rules to be applied in a maximally parallel fashion. However, in some cases a sequential model may be a more reasonable as...
