Multiset

Networks of polarized multiset processors

We propose a highly parallel and distributed multiset computing model having as its underlying structure an undirected graph whose nodes are processors, each endowed with a polarity and with a set of rules all of the same kind, one of increment, decrement or substitution. Processors communicate with each other via a protocol based on the compatibility between their polarization and the polarization of the data, as computed by a valuation mapping. We show that this model can simulate any multiset Turing machine.
