Non-conventional computing paradigms

Three non Conventional Paradigms of Parallel Computation

We consider three paradigms of computation where the ben-eets of a parallel solution are greater than usual. Paradigm 1 works on a time-varying input data set, whose size increases with time. In paradigm 2 the data set is xed, but the processors may fail at any time with a given constant probability. In paradigm 3, the execution of a single operation may require more than one processor, for sec...

Alternative Computing Paradigms

Single photon emission tomography allows the imaging of dynamic brain functioning. The use of cerebral activating procedures within the scan protocol enables investigation of the mechanisms involved in specific brain functions in health and disease. Activation studies involve the comparison of at least two data sets describing brain activity generated in conditions that differ for the specific ...

Change : Toward New Computing Paradigms

Molecular Computing is a novel computing paradigm recently emerged from and stimulated by a groundbreaking wet lab experimental work by Adleman in 1994. Since then, a great number of computation models have been proposed in the context of both biomolecular experiments and theoretical computer science (e.g., [2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 17, 19, 20]), trying to break through the so-called NP-complete...

Autonomic and Trusted Computing Paradigms

The emerging autonomic computing technology has been hailed by world-wide researchers and professionals in academia and industry. Besides four key capabilities, well known as self-CHOP, we propose an additional self-regulating capability to explicitly emphasize the policy-driven self-manageability and dynamic policy derivation and enactment. Essentially, these five capabilities, coined as Self-...
