Towards the automatic programming of H systems: JHsys, a java H system simulator

Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to describe how we consider that splicing systems (a family of abstract bio-inspired computing devices) can be automatically programmed (designed) in the future. One of the necessary steps is to formally describe the computer being programmed (splicing systems). Some of the authors of this paper have previously solved this problem. Another necessary step is to develop a simulator for H systems. We propose applying Christiansen Grammar Evolution (an evolutionary automatic programming algorithm developed by the authors) to complete the process. This technique includes a fitness function that the simulator requires. This paper is devoted to describe jHSys, a Java simulator for splicing (H) systems.
