Journeys in Non-Classical Computation
نویسنده
چکیده
Today’s computing, classical computing, is a remarkable success story. However, there is a growing appreciation that it encompasses only a small subset of all computational possibilities. There are several paradigms that seem to define classical computing, but these may not be true for all of computation. As these paradigms are systematically challenged, the subject area is widened and enriched. The Grand Challenge of Non-Classical Computation is nothing less than a reconceptulisation of computation.

متن کاملJourneys in Non-Classical Computation A Grand Challenge for Computing Research
A gateway event [26] is a change to a system that leads to the possibility of huge increases in kinds and levels of complexity. It opens up a whole new kind of phase space to the system’s dynamics. Gateway events during evolution of life on earth include the appearance of eukaryotes (organisms with a cell nucleus), an oxygen atmosphere, multicelled organisms, and grass. Gateway events during th...
متن کاملComputing and Evaluating Multimodal Journeys
We study the problem of finding multimodal journeys in transportation networks, including unrestricted walking, driving, cycling, and schedule-based public transportation. A natural solution to this problem is to use multicriteria search, but it tends to be slow and to produce too many journeys, several of which are of little value. We propose algorithms to compute a full Pareto set and then sc...

متن کاملA comparative Survey on the Stages of Philosophical Training in Plato’s Allegory of Cave, in the Four Mystical Journeys, and in Mulla Sadra’s al-Asfar
At the beginning of his magnum opus al-Hekmat al-Muta’aleiat fi al-Asfar al-Aqliiat, Mulla Sadra says that he has nominated and arranged his book according to “the four journeys” of the Mystics. What he and the Mystics say on these journeys reminds those familiar with Greek philosophy of Plato’s Phaedrus and Republic (Journey of souls onto sky and the Allegory of Cave, respectively). In spite o...
