Abstract

Population Dynamics P systems (PDP systems, in short) provide a new
formal bio-inspired modelling framework, which has been successfully used for
modelling population dynamics on real ecosystems. The semantics of these systems
is captured by the Direct distribution based on Consistent Blocks Algorithm (DCBA),
which has been engineered into software simulation tools. In particular,MeCoSim
(Membrane Computing Simulator) is a GUI developed in the framework ofP-Lingua
that can be used as a simulation environment for running virtual experiments. The
parameters of each scenario to be simulated can be easily adjusted in a visual way,
as well as the settings for the desired output format, thus facilitating the validation
