Handbook of Nature-Inspired and Innovative Computing : Integrating Classical Models with Emerging Technologies

As computing devices proliferate, demand increases for an understanding of emerging computing paradigms and models based on natural phenomena. Neural networks, evolution-based models, quantum computing, and DNA-based computing and simulations are all a necessary part of modern computing analysis and systems development. This handbook explores the connection between nature-inspired and traditional computational paradigms. It presents computing paradigms and models based on natural phenomena. The handbook is a repository of case studies dealing with different problems in computing and solutions to these problems based on nature-inspired paradigms.
