图书简介
Did you know that computation can be implemented with cytoskeleton networks, chemical reactions, liquid marbles, plants, polymers and dozens of other living and inanimate substrates? Do you know what is reversible computing or a DNA microscopy? Are you aware that randomness aids computation? Would you like to make logical circuits from enzymatic reactions? Have you ever tried to implement digital logic with Minecraft? Do you know that eroding sandstones can compute too?
This volume will review most of the key attempts in coming up with an alternative way of computation. In doing so, the authors show that we do not need computers to compute and we do not need computation to infer. It invites readers to rethink the computer and computing, and appeals to computer scientists, mathematicians, physicists and philosophers. The topics are presented in a lively and easily accessible manner and make for ideal supplementary reading across a broad range of subjects.
Key Features
• The book is a professional introduction to alternative computing — the interdisciplinary science aimed to exploit principles of information processing in and functional properties of physical, chemical and living systems to develop efficient algorithms, design optimal architectures and manufacture working prototypes of future and emergent computing devices
• The book advances topics on theory of computation, nature-inspired algorithms, chemical and biological prototypes of unconventional computing devices, synthetic biology, non-standard mathematics, nanocomputing, novel hardware, future and emergent computing technologies, self-organization, mathematical machines and automata
• The book is comprised of unique contributions prepared by world leading experts in computer science, hardware, physics, chemistry, biology, nano-technology and engineering
• The book is very well illustrated: many graphical examples appeal not only to scientists but engineers, industry representatives and the general public
