Excerpt

Natural computing refers to the interdisciplinary area between computer science, mathematics, physics and biology that tries to formalise and explore the computational processes found in the physical world. It aims to copy natural processes in order to provide new solutions to computationally hard problems. Another investigated direction is the implementation of computation in (non-electronic) physical media. It is not surprising that in many cases the computation performed by obtained formalisms does not fit into the classical concept of Turing computation, mainly because of the highly distributed and parallel structure. The area of unconventional computation studies computational models that do not fit into the classical modes of computation, including models not having a physical inspiration. …
