Marc Notes: Originally published: 2006.; Addressing the connection between nature-inspired and traditional computational paradigms, this book contains case studies dealing with different problems in computing and solutions to these problems based on nature-inspired paradigms. Description for Sales People: 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.

I found this volume to be a fascinating, and gentle, introduction to a wide range of nonstandard research areas of computer science. this book used as the basis for a seminar on approaches to decentralized computation. I consider it a collection of tutorials . I think this book would be of use to anyone with some CS sophistication who desires exposure to a wide range of newer or less-publicized research areas.
