This article explores the changing nature of the interaction between computer science and
the natural and social sciences. After briefly tracing the history of scientific computation, the …

Over the past sixty years, the spectacular growth of the technologies associated with the
computer is visible for all to see and experience. Yet, the science underpinning this …

Did you know that computation can be implemented with cytoskeleton networks, chemical
reactions, liquid marbles, plants, polymers and dozens of other living and inanimate …

In this chapter we investigate computation from a dynamical systems perspective. A
dynamical system is described in terms of its abstract state space, the system's current state …

In this paper we analyze methodological and philosophical implications of algorithmic
aspects of unconventional computation. At first, we describe how the classical algorithmic …
