Abstract
Membrane computing is a distributed and parallel bio-inspired computing paradigm providing new computing models. The computational model of membrane computing is called “P systems”. Despite several P systems simulation tools have been built, the general object-oriented framework of P systems lacks. This study gives the computer storage structure of P systems, the object-oriented static model and the object-oriented dynamic model of membrane computing using Umlet. This study intuitively gives the concepts and operations involved in the membrane computing, which facilitates a better understanding of the thought of membrane computing, and provides support for research personnel having no membrane computing foundation.
