Even newspapers carry articles containing evocative terms like Quantum Computers or Molecular Computers. The background is the need for better performing computers in applications which require an extremely high parallelism or a special behaviour such as the simulation of quantum systems. Examples include the design of a turbine with about 100 parts; a realistic simulation of say only 40 electrons in a solid; and the search for the shortest telephone line that connects 100 cities scattered over a country. These require calculations that are far beyond the power of conventional computers! This exciting book provides the first overview of, and introduction, to the chemical, biological and physical non-standard computation concepts which promise to solve these problems by a massive parallelism and a clever use of other effects: molecular and quantum computers, and genetic algorithms.; Written on a scientific level, it is an up-to-date information source for scientists and graduate students working in the field in physics, chemistry, computer and life sciences, as well as interested readers with a scientific background. 606 $aMolecular computers 606 $aCellular automata 606 $aEvolutionary programming (Computer science) 606 $aQuantum computers 606 $aComputers, Hybrid 606 $aComputational Biology 606 $aComputers 606 $aBiology 606 $aComputer Systems 606 $aComputing Methodologies 606 $aBiological Science Disciplines 606 $aNatural Science Disciplines 606 $aInformation Science 606 $aDisciplines and Occupations 606 $aComputer Science$2HILCC 606 $aEngineering & Applied Sciences$2HILCC 615 0$aMolecular computers 615 0$aCellular automata 615 0$aEvolutionary programming (Computer science) 615 0$aQuantum computers 615 2$aComputers, Hybrid 615 2$aComputational Biology 615 2$aComputers 615 2$aBiology 615 2$aComputer Systems 615 2$aComputing Methodologies 615 2$aBiological Science Disciplines 615 2$aNatural Science Disciplines 615 2$aInformation Science 615 2$aDisciplines and Occupations 615 7$aComputer Science 615 7$aEngineering & Applied Sciences 676 $a511.3 702 $aGramss$b Tino 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910830134703321 996 $aNon-standard computation : molecular computation, cellular automata, evolutionary algorithms, quantum computers$94064920 997 $aUNINA
