This book is concerned with computing in materio: that is,
unconventional computing performed by directly harnessing the
physical properties of materials. It offers an overview of the
field, covering four main areas of interest: theory, practice,
applications and implications. Each chapter synthesizes current
understanding by deliberately bringing together researchers across
a collection of related research projects. The book is useful for
graduate students, researchers in the field, and the general
scientific reader who is interested in inherently interdisciplinary
research at the intersections of computer science, biology,
chemistry, physics, engineering and mathematics.

This book provides a broad overview of the entire field of DNA
computation, tracing its history and development. It contains
detailed descriptions of all major theoretical models and
experimental results to date and discusses potential future
developments. It concludes by outlining the challenges currently
faced by researchers in the field. This book will be a useful
reference for researchers and students, as well as an accessible
introduction for those new to the field.
The field of DNA computation has flourished since the publication of Adleman's seminal article, in which he demonstrated for the first time how a computation may be performed at a molecular level by performing standard operations on a tube of DNA strands. Since Adleman's original experiment, interest in DNA computing has increased dramatically. This book provides a broad overview of the entire field of DNA computation, tracing its history and development. It contains detailed descripions of all major theoretical models and experimental results to date, which are lacking in existing texts. Potential future developments are also discussed. The book is a useful reference source for researchers and students, as well as an accessible introduction for people new to the field.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th
International Conference on Unconventional Computation and Natural
Computation, UCNC 2016, held in Manchester, UK, in July 2016. The
15 revised full papers presented together with 5 invited papers
were carefully reviewed and selected from 30 submissions. The
papers cover a wide range of topics including molecular, cellular,
quantum, optical and chaos computing; cellular automata; neural and
evolutionary computation; artificial immune systems; Ant algorithms
and swarm intelligence; amorphous computing; membrane computing;
computational systems biology and computational neuroscience; and
synthetic biology.
The completion of the first draft of the human genome has led to an
explosion of interest in genetics and molecular biology. The view
of the genome as a network of interacting computational components
is well-established, but researchers are now trying to reverse the
analogy, by using living organisms to construct logic circuits. The
potential applications for such technologies is huge, ranging from
bio-sensors, through industrial applications to drug delivery and
diagnostics. This book would be the first to deal with the
implementation of this technology, describing several working
experimental demonstrations using cells as components of logic
circuits, building toward computers incorporating biological
components in their functioning.
