Treffer: Relating Various Types of Distributed Reaction Systems.

A distributed reaction system models a system composed of several reaction systems. Each reaction system has its own set of reactions, while the background set is the same for all reaction systems. At each transition of the distributed reaction system, the environment provides an arbitrary context containing symbols for each reaction system and also it specifies which reaction systems are active. On the other hand, a distributed communicating reaction system with direct communication models a system composed of several reaction systems that are able to communicate products or reactions, while the environment provides a context similar to that for distributed reaction systems. In this paper, it is proved that these distributed variants of reaction systems can be related by establishing translations of distributed reaction systems into distributed communicating reaction systems with direct communication and the other way round.
