Abstract

In this paper we propose a new way to represent P systems with active membranes based on Logic Programming techniques. This representation allows us to express the set of rules and the configuration of the P system in eaeh step of the evolution as literals of an appropriate, language of first order logic. We provide a Prolog program to simulate the evolution of these P systems and present some auxiliary tools to simulate the evolution of a P system with active membranes using 2-division which solves the SAT problem following the techniques presented in Reference.
