Abstract

The study of spiking neural P systems is a branch of membrane computing (comprehensive information about this area of natural computing can be found in [24], [9], or at the web page [31]) initiated in [18]. The goal is to build a model of the way the neurons cooperate in (large) neural nets, communicating by means of spikes, electrical impulses of identical shapes. “Computing by spiking” is a vivid research area in neural computing, which promises to lead to a neural computing “of the third generation” - see [12], [22], etc.
