Starting from the fact that complete Accepting Hybrid Networks of
Evolutionary Processors allow much communication between the nodes and are far
from network structures used in practice, we propose in this paper three
network topologies that restrict the communication: star networks, ring
networks, and grid networks. We show that ring-AHNEPs can simulate 2-tag
systems, thus we deduce the existence of a universal ring-AHNEP. For star
networks or grid networks, we show a more general result; that is, each
recursively enumerable language can be accepted efficiently by a star- or
grid-AHNEP.
