Abstract

Increasing demands upon current computer systems, along with technological changes, create a need for more flexible and adaptable systems. Natural systems provide many examples of the type of versatile system required. This paper reviews examples of nature-inspired computing, drawing inspiration from many different areas of living systems including evolution, ecology, development and behaviour. The implications for the future development of computing technology and applications are also discussed.
