Abstract
In the recent years, computer scientists have been inspired by biological systems for computational approaches, in particularly with respect to complex optimization and decision problems. Nature provides a wealth of evolved solutions to such challenges. As evolved by natural selection, biological processes are robust and able to successfully handle failures as well as attacks to survive and propagate. Biological systems are mostly distributed systems that coordinate to make decisions without central control. An example par excellence for such a biological system is given by slime molds. In this context, Physarum polycephalum emerged as a model organism which has attracted substantial interest in the recent years. In this chapter, I present new approaches to cultivate this organism, with the goal to establish a multipurpose experimental platform for biological information processing.
