Abstract

Natural computing refers to computation taking place in nature and to humandesigned computation inspired by nature. When complex phenomena going on in nature are viewed as computational processes, our understanding of these phenomena and of the essence of computation is enhanced. On the other hand human-designed computing inspired by nature has had already a big impact on the development of computer science (think, e.g., about neural computing, evolutionary computing, molecular computing and quantum computing).
