How do cells and nature 'compute'? They read and 'rewrite'DNA all the time, by processes
that modify sequences at the DNA or RNA level. In 1994, Adleman's elegant solution to a …

This is the first book on DNA computing, a molecular approach that may revolutionize
computing-replacing silicon with carbon and microchips with DNA molecules. The book …

Natural computing brings together nature and computing to develop new computational
tools for problem solving; to synthesize natural patterns and behaviors in computers; and to …

By combining chaotic system and DNA sequence operations, an image cryptosystem is
proposed. To generate sequences with better chaotic characteristics, a new spatiotemporal …

The eld usually referred to as mathematical biology is a highly interdisciplinary area that lies
at the intersection of mathematics and biology. Classical illustrations include the …

Marcus Contextual Grammars is the first monograph to present a class of grammars
introduced about three decades ago, based on the fundamental linguistic phenomenon of …

This article gives an overview of the recent developments in the study of the operations of
insertion and deletion. It presents the origin of these operations, their formal definition and a …

In this paper we consider networks of evolutionary processors as language generating and
computational devices. When the filters are regular languages one gets the computational …

L systems are parallel rewriting systems which were originally introduced in 1968 to model
the development of multicellular organisms [L1]. The basic ideas gave rise to an abundance …

We consider a class of insertion–deletion systems which have not been investigated so far,
those without any context controlling the insertion–deletion operations. Rather …
