Sequential Spiking Neural P Systems with Local Scheduled Synapses without Delay by Alia Bibi, Fei Xu, Henry N. Adorna, Francis George C. Cabarle

“…In this work, we consider the family of spiking neural P systems with scheduled synapses working in the sequential mode: at each step the neuron(s) with the maximum/minimum number of spikes among the neurons that can spike will fire. The computational power of spiking neural P systems with scheduled synapses working in the sequential mode is investigated. …”
