Abstract
We present a new Monte Carlo algorithm for self-avoiding surfaces in a grand canonical ensemble. The topology of the surfaces is kept planar but the boundary is allowed to fluctuate during the simulation. The measured critical exponents , indicate that this model belongs to the universality class of branched polymers in three dimensions.
