Olejar Books

"This book covers recent research into unconventional methods of computing for disciplines in computer science, mathematics, biology, physics and philosophy. Subjects include: - nonconventional computational methods, DNA computation, quantum computation, and beyong Turing computability - new methods of discrete computation - theoretical and conceptual new computational paradigms - practical knowledge on new computing technologies. These proceedings contain the invited lectures and refereed talks presented to the First International Conference on nconventional Models of Computation"", organised by the Centre for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science, NZ, and the Santa Fe Institute in Auckland. The book is published in collaboration with the Centre for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science. The Centre, founded in 1995, supports basic research on the interface between mathematics and computing, especially in the areas of artificial intelligence, combinatorial optimization, computability and complexity, and theoretical computer vision."
