This book describes reversible computing from the standpoint of the
theory of automata and computing. It investigates how reversibility
can be effectively utilized in computing. A reversible computing
system is a "backward deterministic" system such that every state
of the system has at most one predecessor. Although its definition
is very simple, it is closely related to physical reversibility,
one of the fundamental microscopic laws of Nature. Authored by the
leading scientist on the subject, this book serves as a valuable
reference work for anyone working in reversible computation or in
automata theory in general. This work deals with various reversible
computing models at several different levels, which range from the
microscopic to the macroscopic, and aims to clarify how computation
can be carried out efficiently and elegantly in these reversible
computing models. Because the construction methods are often unique
and different from those in the traditional methods, these
computing models as well as the design methods provide new insights
for future computing systems. Organized bottom-up, the book starts
with the lowest scale of reversible logic elements and circuits
made from them. This is followed by reversible Turing machines, the
most basic computationally universal machines, and some other types
of reversible automata such as reversible multi-head automata and
reversible counter machines. The text concludes with reversible
cellular automata for massively parallel spatiotemporal
computation. In order to help the reader have a clear understanding
of each model, the presentations of all different models follow a
similar pattern: the model is given in full detail, a short
informal discussion is held on the role of different elements of
the model, and an example with illustrations follows each model.
