Encyclopedia of Applied Physics

Editors: Adamatzky, Andrew (Ed.)
The book is an encyclopedia in unconventional computing – the interdisciplinary science aimed to exploit principles of information processing in and functional properties of physical, chemical and living systems to develop efficient algorithms, design optimal architectures and manufacture working prototypes of future and emergent computing devices
The book advances topics of theory of computation, nature-inspired algorithms, chemical and biological prototypes of unconventional computing devices, synthetic biology, non-standard mathematics, nanocomputing, novel hardware, future and emergent computing technologies, self-organization, mathematical machines, and automata

Available in CD-ROM and in print, this dictionary contains more than 115,000 headwords and 3,000 abbreviations in both Spanish and English. Terms come from the whole range of modern applied science and technical terminology.
