Examples of the first strand of research covered by the handbook include neural computation inspired by the functioning of the brain; evolutionary computation inspired by Darwinian evolution of species; cellular automata inspired by intercellular communication; swarm intelligence inspired by the behavior of groups of organisms; artificial immune systems inspired by the natural immune system; artificial life systems inspired by the properties of natural life in general; membrane computing inspired by the compartmentalized ways in which cells process information; and amorphous computing inspired by morphogenesis. Other examples of natural-computing paradigms are molecular computing and quantum computing, where the goal is to replace traditional electronic hardware, e.g., by bioware in molecular computing. In molecular computing, data are encoded as biomolecules and then molecular biology tools are used to transform the data, thus performing computations. In quantum computing, one exploits quantum-mechanical phenomena to perform computations and secure communications more efficiently than classical physics and, hence, traditional hardware allows. The second strand of research covered by the handbook, computation taking place in nature, is represented by investigations into, among others, the computational nature of self-assembly, which lies at the core of nanoscience, the computational nature of developmental processes, the computational nature of biochemical reactions, the computational nature of bacterial communication, the computational nature of brain processes, and the systems biology approach to bionetworks where cellular processes are treated in terms of communication and interaction, and, hence, in terms of computation. We are now witnessing exciting interaction between computer science and the natural sciences. While the natural sciences are rapidly absorbing notions, techniques and methodologies intrinsic to information processing, computer science is adapting and extending its traditional notion of computation, and computational techniques, to account for computation taking place in nature around us. Natural Computing is an important catalyst for this two-way interaction, and this handbook is a major record of this important development. 606 $aComputers 606 $aComputational intelligence 606 $aArtificial intelligence 606 $aQuantum computers 606 $aSpintronics 606 $aSystems biology 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aTheory of Computation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16005 606 $aComputational Intelligence$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11014 606 $aArtificial Intelligence$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I21000 606 $aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31070 606 $aSystems Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L15010 606 $aNanotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z14000 615 0$aComputers. 615 0$aComputational intelligence. 615 0$aArtificial intelligence. 615 0$aQuantum computers. 615 0$aSpintronics. 615 0$aSystems biology. 615 0$aNanotechnology. 615 14$aTheory of Computation. 615 24$aComputational Intelligence. 615 24$aArtificial Intelligence. 615 24$aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics. 615 24$aSystems Biology. 615 24$aNanotechnology. 676 $a006.38 702 $aRozenberg$b Grzegorz$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBäck$b Thomas$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKok$b Joost N$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483146703321 996 $aHandbook of Natural Computing$92845806 997 $aUNINA
