Abstract

In this paper we describe a possible design to adapt to Neps of Evolutionary Processors (NEPs) a general methodogy for simulating natural computers in a distributed way. This methodology was early proposed by other researchers of our group and has proven to be viable and efficient for P-systems (another natural computer with a similar, and even more complex structure than NEPs). We highlight the strcuture, tasks and tools we plan to use in the future implementation of the system. Although several simulators for NEPs are available to the community via internet, almost none of them are designed to be scalable and able to tackle problems of big size.
