The field of biologically inspired computation has coexisted with
mainstream computing since the 1930s, and the pioneers in this area
include Warren McCulloch, Walter Pitts, Robert Rosen, Otto Schmitt,
Alan Turing, John von Neumann and Norbert Wiener. Ideas arising out
of studies of biology have permeated algorithmics, automata theory,
artificial intelligence, graphics, information systems and software
design. Within this context, the biomolecular, cellular and tissue
levels of biological organisation have had a considerable
inspirational impact on the development of computational ideas.
Such innovations include neural computing, systolic arrays, genetic
and immune algorithms, cellular automata, artificial tissues, DNA
computing and protein memories. With the rapid growth in biological
knowledge there remains a vast source of ideas yet to be tapped.
This includes developments associated with biomolecular, genomic,
enzymic, metabolic, signalling and developmental systems and the
various impacts on distributed, adaptive, hybrid and emergent
computation. This multidisciplinary book brings together a
collection of chapters by biologists, computer scientists,
engineers and mathematicians who were drawn together to examine the
ways in which the interdisciplinary displacement of concepts and
ideas could develop new insights into emerging computing paradigms.
Funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council
(EPSRC), the CytoCom Network formally met on five occasions to
examine and discuss common issues in biology and computing that
could be exploited to develop emerging models of computation.
