Bacteria as computers making computers
Various efforts to integrate biological knowledge into networks of interactions have produced a lively microbial systems biology. Putting molecular biology and computer sciences in perspective, we review another trend in systems biology, in which recursivity and information replace the usual concepts of differential equations, feedback and feedforward loops and the like. Noting that the process...
متن کاملMaking Meaning in Computers:
This report describes synthetic ethology, a scientific methodology in which we construct synthetic worlds in which synthetic agents evolve and become coupled to their environment. First we review the motivations for synthetic ethology as an experimental methodology and explain how it can be used to investigate intentionality and meaning, and the mechanisms from which they emerge, with an especi...
متن کاملMaking DNA computers error
We describe methods for making volume decreasing algorithms more resistant to certain types of errors. Such error recovery techniques are crucial if DNA computers ever become practical. Our rst approach relies on applying PCR at various stages of the computation. We analyze its performance and show that it increases the survival-probability of various strands to acceptable proportions. Our seco...
متن کاملMaking Believers out of Computers
To someone unfamiliar with Artificial Intelligence, all of the activity that is taking place at this IJCAI conference must be very puzzling. And the current fuss about what is called a "knowledge-based system" (KBS) must be a total mystery. For one thing, there is an amazing amount of talk about knowledge. There are even advertisements in The AI Magazine reminding us of the value of knowledge. ...
