Abstract
Natural computing is a field of research which tries to imitate nature's way of computing. It strives to offer new models and paradigms of computing used by nature. P system is a branch of natural computing which abstracts from the structure and the functionality of living cells. In this talk we concentrate on rewriting P systems and discuss the efficiency and computational power of rewriting P systems. We also discuss the descriptional complexity of rewriting P systems. Note that P systems are not intended to model the functioning of biological membranes. Instead, such systems are intended to explore the computational power of cells and of various features of membranes.
