EPSRC Workshop on Unconventional Computing

非传统计算是先进计算机科学的一个领域，其总体目标可以概括为寻求新的突破性算法和新颖的物理实现，并且最终比经典方法/计算范式和机器更强大。该研讨会将汇集专注于非传统理论构建，实验原型和非经典计算设备的真正实现的工作。另一个目标是重新审视现有的非常规计算方法，为科学家和工程师提供可实现的计算设备的蓝图，并对新颖和紧急计算系统的设计进行批判性的审视，以指出理论和实验方法的失败和缺点。该研讨会将对全球新兴和新颖的计算范式和架构的发展产生令人难以置信的强大影响，并将英国置于非经典计算系统研究的领先水平。

Unconventional computing is a field of advanced computer science, whose general goal might be summarised as the quest for both new groundbreaking algorithms and physical implementations of novel and ultimately more powerful / compared to classical approaches / computing paradigms and machines. This workshop will bring together work that focuses on non-traditional theoretical constructions, experimental prototypes and genuine implementations of non-classical computing devices. A further goal is to revisit existing approaches in unconventional computing, to provide scientists and engineers with blue-prints of realisable computing devices, and to take a critical glance at the design of novel and emergent computing systems to point out failures and shortcomings of both theoretical and experimental approaches. The workshop will make an incredibly strong impact on the development of emerging and novel computing paradigms and architectures world-wide, and put the UK at the leading level of research in non-classical computing systems.
