Abstract
We introduce a specific type of rules for APCol systems (Automaton-like P colonies), variants of P colonies where the environment of the agents is given by a string and during functioning the agents change their own states and process the string similarly to automata. These rules enrich the actioning of APCol systems by agent creation. Finally, we show that even APCol systems with agent creation, systems without inner structure, can solve 3SAT in linear time.
