Design And Implementation Of Membrane Computing Simulator On MATLAB

As a new branch of natural computing, membrane computing is a hot cross-discipline topic of many subjects. With the research and development of membrane computing, more and more researchers began to study and design calculation model for it. Membrane computing research involves design and simulation. As to a complex membrane system, it is a complicated and error-prone process by artificial design and simulation. So you need to use film calculation results of the simulation software assisted membrane. Therefore simulation software for membrane computing to assistant membrane computing research is required. Most of the simulation software developed with different programming languages currently. They can only support single type of membrane system, and unable to perform complex data processing. As a great mathematical software, MATLAB can realize such complex functions as algorithm development, data visualization, data analysis and numerical calculation.Base on the reasons above, a technique for designing membrane computing simulator by MATLAB is given in this thesis, aims at offering a certain technical support for membrane computing.
