Abstract
In this paper we discuss Observer/Interpreter P systems, i.e., a model of computation inspired by the possibility of tracking and detecting fluorescent proteins in living cells and interpreting the results by visualizing molecular events in real time. In this regard, we define Observer/Interpreter P systems as a couple of two independent systems: a P system with symbol objects and multiset rewriting rules and a finite state machine able to perform an operation (addition/subtraction) on a register. We investigate the computational power of the model when different features are taken into account.
