Algorithms and Structure of Theoretical and Natural Computing Models

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The area of natural computing investigates different models of computation inspired by nature. Some major objectives of this area are to formalize the processes mathematically, study properties of the models, create algorithms to analyze data from exhibited characteristics, and create computer simulations of the processes. These all contribute towards an improved understanding of the natural systems themselves. Our research group is especially interested in natural and theoretical models of computation involving DNA and other sequences, and examining how they change over time in response to various machinery and operations.
