In this paper we use spiking neural P systems to solve this problem. Based on such devices, a parallel software has been implemented on the GPU architecture. Some real-world applications and open lines for future research are also presented.}, url = {http://www.gcn.us.es/10BWMC/10BWMCvolI/papers/skel_snps_bwmc.pdf}, author = {Daniel D{\'\i}az-Pernil and Francisco Pe{\~n}a-Cantillana and Miguel A.
