Abstract

In this paper we survey some results reported so far, for the new computational model of Accepting Networks of Evolutionary Processors (ANEPs), in the area of computational and descriptional complexity. First we give the definitions of the computational model, and its variants, then we define several ANEP complexity classes, and, further, we show how some classical complexity classes, defined for Turing Machines, can be characterized in this framework. After this, we briefly show how ANEPs can be used to solve efficiently NP-complete problems. Finally, we discuss a list of open problems and further directions of research which appear interesting to us.
