%X Membrane computing is an emergent branch of natural computing, which has been extensively used to solve various NP-complete and intractable problems. In this paper, a bio-inspired algorithm based on membrane computing (BIAMC) is proposed to solve the engineering design problem. BIAMC is designed with the framework and rules of a cell-like P systems, and particle swarm optimization with the neighborhood search. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the improved algorithm is valid and outperforms other evolutionary algorithms for engineering design problems.
