Computation and the natural sciences

We propose certain non-Turing models of computation, but our intent is not to advocate models that surpass the power of Turing machines (TMs), but to defend the need for models with orthogonal notions of power. We review the nature of models and argue ...

Computation not only takes place in provoked contexts of scientific experimentation, but in natural circumstances too. We are going to approach computation in natural contexts. How the nature computes? Turing machines and Chomsky grammars are rewriting ...

Natural computation is the study of computational systems that use ideas and get inspirations from natural systems, including biological, physical, chemical, economical and social systems. It covers many active research fields, such as evolutionary ...
