Timed spiking neural P systems

Abstract

In this paper, we present a new class of spiking neural P systems for handling temporal information and representing temporal knowledge, called timed spiking neural P systems. A new firing principle is introduced into the timed spiking neural P systems instead of original firing and delay mechanisms in spiking neural P systems. The timed spiking neural P systems can effectively represent both qualitative and quantitative temporal information.
