The book introduces a hot topic of novel and emerging computing
paradigms and architectures -computation by travelling waves in
reaction-diffusion media. A reaction-diffusion computer is a
massively parallel computing device, where the micro-volumes of the
chemical medium act as elementary few-bit processors, and chemical
species diffuse and react in parallel. In the reaction-diffusion
computer both the data and the results of the computation are
encoded as concentration profiles of the reagents, or local
disturbances of concentrations, whilst the computation per se is
performed via the spreading and interaction of waves caused by the
local disturbances. The monograph brings together results of a
decade-long study into designing experimental and simulated
prototypes of reaction-diffusion computing devices for image
processing, path planning, robot navigation, computational
geometry, logics and artificial intelligence. The book is unique
because it gives a comprehensive presentation of the theoretical
and experimental foundations, and cutting-edge computation
techniques, chemical laboratory experimental setups and hardware
implementation technology employed in the development of novel
nature-inspired computing devices.
