From Parallel to Emergent Computing

From Parallel to Emergent Computing

by Andrew Adamatzky (Editor), Andrew Adamatzky (Editor), Georgios Ch. Sirakoulis (Editor), Selim Akl (Editor)

Synopsis

Modern computing relies on future and emergent technologies which have been conceived via interaction between computer science, engineering, chemistry, physics and biology. This highly interdisciplinary book presents advances in the fields of parallel, distributed and emergent information processing and computation. The book represents major breakthroughs in parallel quantum protocols, elastic cloud servers, structural properties of interconnection networks, internet of things, morphogenetic collective systems, swarm intelligence and cellular automata, unconventionality in parallel computation, algorithmic information dynamics, localized DNA computation, graph-based cryptography, slime mold inspired nano-electronics and cytoskeleton computers.

Features

  • Truly interdisciplinary, spanning computer science, electronics, mathematics and biology
  • Covers widely popular topics of future and emergent computing technologies, cloud computing, parallel computing, DNA computation, security and network analysis, cryptography, and theoretical computer science
  • Provides unique chapters written by top experts in theoretical and applied computer science, information processing and engineering

From Parallel to Emergent Computing provides a visionary statement on how computing will advance in the next 25 years and what new fields of science will be involved in computing engineering. This book is a valuable resource for computer scientists working today, and in years to come.

Author Bio
Andy Adamatzky is a professor in the Unconventional Computing in the Department of Computer Science, Director of the Unconventional Computing Centre, and a member of Bristol Robotics Lab. He does research in reaction-diffusion computing, cellular automata, physarum computing, massive parallel computation, applied mathematics, collective intelligence and robotics. He has authored and/or edited over 10 books, and is the Editor in Chief of the International Journal of Parallel, Emergent, and Distributed Computing. Selim G. Akl (Ph.D., McGill University, 1978) is a professor at Queen's University in the Queen's School of Computing, where he leads the Parallel and Unconventional Computation Group. His research interests are primarily in the area of algorithm design and analysis, in particular for problems in parallel computing and unconventional computing. Georgios Sirakoulis received his Diploma degree and Master of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering (DECE) from the Democritus University of Thrace (DUTh), Greece in 1996 and his PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from DECE at DUTh, Greece in 2001 and he is Associate Prof. with tenure in DECE at DUTh.
