ARES (Antibiotic Resistance Evolution Simulator) is a membrane computing-based model, able to simulate complex biological landscapes. It uses a nested membrane-surroundings entitites scheme formatted in a XML file. The created scenarios emulate entities as: i) Resistance genes, able to detoxify antibiotics. These genes can be located in the plasmid, in conjugative elements or in the chromosome; ii) plasmids and conjugative elements transferring genes between bacterial cells; iii) bacterial cells; iv) individual microbiotas where bacterial species coexist; v) hosts containing the microbiotic ensembles; vi) environment(s) where the hosts are contained. ...

Membrane Computing is a new research area (within Natural Computing) that aims to provide computing devices abstracted from the functioning and structure of living cells. These devices are called P systems. The objective of this project (PMCGPU) is to bring together all the researchers working on the development of parallel simulators for P systems, specially those using the GPU (e.g.
