Abstract Spiking neural P systems are a class of distributed parallel computing models, inspired by the way in which neurons process information and communicate with each other by means of spikes. In 2007, Freund and Verlan developed a formal framework for P systems to capture most of the essential features of P systems and to define their functioning in a formal way. In this work, we present an extension of the formal framework related to spiking neural P systems by considering the applicability of each rule to be controlled by specific conditions on the current contents of the cells. The main objective of this extension is to also capture spiking neural P systems in the formal framework. Another goal of our extension is to incorporate the notions of input and output. Finally, we also show that in the case of spiking neural P systems, the rules have a rather simple form and in that way spiking neural P systems correspond to vector addition systems where the application of rules is controlled by semi-linear sets.

Based on the biological background of neurons sending electrical impulses along axons to other neurons, spiking neural P systems were introduced in [17]. In spiking neural P systems, the contents of a cell—a neuron—consists of a number of so-called spikes. The rules assigned to a cell allow for sending information to other neurons in the form of spikes corresponding to electrical impulses, which are summed up in the target cells. The application of the rules depends on the current contents of the neuron and in the general case is described by a filter language (e.g., a regular set). As inspired from biology, the cell sending out spikes may be closed for a specific time period corresponding to the refractory period of a neuron. During this refractory period, the neuron is closed for new input and cannot get excited— fire—for spiking. As already shown in [14], considering such a delay usually is not needed to obtain
