The Asian Conference on Membrane Computing (ACMC) is one of the flagship conferences on Membrane Computing, aiming to provide a high-level international forum for researchers working in membrane computing and related areas, especially for the ones from the Asian region. This conference is the thirteenth edition of ACMC with the twelfth editions having successfully taken place in Wuhan (China, 2012), Chengdu (China, 2013), Coimbatore (India, 2014), Anhui (China, 2015), Bangi (Malaysia, 2016), Chengdu (China, 2017), Auckland (New Zealand, 2018), Xiamen (China, 2019), Ulaanbaatar(Mongolia, 2020), Chengdu (China, 2021), Quezon (Philippines, 2022), Chengdu (China, 2013), and also a geographical expansion of ICMC (International Conference on Membrane Computing). The other branch, European Branch of ICMC (ECMC), which is held every year from the year of 2000 in deferent European Countries.
The 13th Asian Conference on Membrane Computing (ACMC 2024) is organized as a partially joint event in Singapore, together with the International Conference on Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition and Automation Engineering (MLPRAE 2024).

List of Topics
Like artificial neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, swarm intelligence, cellular automata and DNA computing, membrane computing is also a branch of natural computing or nature-inspired computing and was initiated by Gheorghe Păun in 1998. It aims to abstract computing models, called membrane systems or P systems, from the structure and the functioning of the living cell as well as from the cooperation of cells in tissues, organs, and populations of cells. It is worth pointing out that the spiking neural P system, one of the three basic types of membrane computing models, is a key branch of the third generation of artificial neural networks and a fascinating research area of artificial intelligence. Membrane computing has grown into a vigorous scientific discipline and has attracted a large number of researchers all over the world. For more information, please refer to the P systems Webpage (http://ppage.psystems.eu/) and to the International Membrane Computing Society Webpage (http://imcs.org.cn/).
