Abstract

In this paper we present a rewriting semantics of membrane systems based on strategies. We use strategies to describe the control mechanisms in membranes. We provide strategies for maximally parallel rewriting, and for maximally parallel rewriting with priorities between rules. Maximally parallel rewriting with promoters or inhibitors requires an additional encoding of the rules.
