Cellular meta-programming over membranes

Abstract

Adaptable executions inspired by the cell behaviour can be described by a cellular meta-programming paradigm. The cell adaptability and meta-programming are related to the notions of behavioural reflection, which allows a program to modify, even at run-time, its own code as well as the semantics of its own programming language. We present the cellular meta-programming considering the membrane systems and a specification language based on rewriting and allowing meta-level strategies and use of reflection. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
