Exploring the intersection of nature-inspired problem-solving and computational theory, this book delves into innovative models and paradigms for managing the complexities of software systems. It emphasizes the theoretical foundations and practical applications of molecular computational models, particularly in simulating biological systems. The text also addresses tools, programming concepts, and implementation challenges through experiments and comparative studies, providing a comprehensive look at unconventional approaches in computational research.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Membrane Computing, CMC 2014, held in Prague, Czech Republic, in August 2014. The 19 revised selected papers presented together with 5 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 papers presented at the conference. In addition, two papers selected from the 22 papers presented at the regional version of CMC, the Asian Conference on Membrane Computing , ACMC 2014, held in Coimbatore, India, are included. The papers cover a wide range of topics in the area of membrane computing, which is an area of computer science aiming to abstract computing ideas and models from the structure and the functioning of living cells, as well as from the way the cells are organized in tissues or higher order structures.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Membrane Computing, CMC11, held in Jena, Germany, in August 2010 - continuing the fruitful tradition of 10 previous editions of the International Workshop on Membrane Computing (WMC). The 23 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited papers and the abstracts of 2 keynote lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers address in this volume cover all the main directions of research in membrane computing, ranging from theoretical topics in the mathematics and computer science to application issues. A special attention was paid to the interaction of membrane computing with biology and computer science, focusing both on the biological roots of membrane computing, on applications of membrane computing in biology and medicine, and on possible electronically based and bioinspired implementations.

This volume contains invited and accepted contributions presented at the Eleventh International Conference on Membrane Computing (CMC11, http://cmc11. uni-jena. de) which took place from 24 to 27 August 2010. We appreciate the hospitality of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany, in hosting CMC11 together with the Jena Centre for Bioinformatics (JCB) under the auspices of the European Molecular Computing Consortium (EMCC) and the Molecular Computing Task Force of the Emergent Technologies Technical Committee at IEEE Computational Intelligence Society. Having now for the first time the status of a conference, CMC11 is pleased to continue the fruitful tradition of 10 previous events of the International Workshop on Membrane Computing (WMC) inspired by the idea of bringing together researchers working in membrane computing or related areas in a friendly atmosphere enhancing communication and cooperation.
