Three are the points we briefly discuss here: using membrane computing tools for efficient computing/optimization, the possibilities of using “general" membrane computing (P systems using multisets of symbol objects processed by biochemical-like evolution... see more

At present, network control systems employ a common approximation to solve the connectivity issue due to time delays coupled with external factors . However, this approach tends to be complex in terms of time delays, and the inherent local phase is missin... see more

The present paper proposes a fractal-like approach to the parametric flow problem, derived from the rules and recursion of generative linguistics. In the same manner in which any sentence can be analysed in terms of "theme" of the sentence (that which is ... see more

Computing and filtering sorted subsets are frequently required in statistical data manipulation and control applications. The main objective is to extract subsets from large data sets in accordance with some criteria, for example, with the maximum and/or ... see more

The performance of networked control systems is affected strictly by time delay. Most of the literature in the area handle the problem from a stability perspective. However, stability optimized algorithms alone are not sufficient to reduce synchronization... see more

One of the applications of Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) is rural networks. For this application researchers have argued benefits on lowering costs and overcoming challenging conditions under which, for instance, protocols such as TCP/IP cannot work bec... see more
