Computation by Biological Systems
What are biological systems and how do they work? Does there exist a physical explanation that captures both their complexity and their simplicity? Biological systems are, after all, just another type of physical system. It has the distinction that it is “alive” whatever this means. Otherwise, biological systems consume mass and energy like any other endothermic process requiring these to opera...
متن کاملSystemic computation: A model of interacting systems with natural characteristics
Natural systems provide unique examples of computation in a form very different from contemporary computer architectures. Biology also demonstrates capabilities such as adaptation, self-repair and self-organisation that are becoming increasingly desirable for our technology. To address these issues a new computer model and architecture with natural characteristics is presented. Systemic computa...
متن کاملLNCS 7956 - Unconventional Computation and Natural Computation
We consider the measurement of physical quantities that are thresholds. We use hybrid computing systems modelled by Turing machines having as an oracle physical equipment that measures thresholds. The Turing machines compute with the help of qualitative information provided by the oracle. The queries are governed by timing protocols and provide the equipment with numerical data with (a) infinit...
متن کاملToward Natural Language Computation
A computer programming system called the "Natural Language Computer" (NLC) is described which allows a user to type English commands while watching them executed on sample data appearing on a display screen. Direct visual feedback enables the user to detect most misinterpretation errors as they are made so that incorrect or ambiguous commands can be retyped or clarified immediately. A sequence ...
متن کاملEngineering Natural Computation by Autonomous DNA-Based Biomolecular Devices
This chapter overviews the past and current state of a selected part of the emerging research area of DNA-based biomolecular devices. We particularly emphasize molecular devices that are: , executing steps with no autonomous exterior mediation after starting; and , the tasks executed can be modified without entirely redesigning the programmable nanostructure. We discuss work in this area that m...
