  The Ulam programming language for artificial life
Ackley D., Ackley E. Artificial Life 22(4): 431-450, 2016.  Type: Article

The most amazing information processing imaginable can be seen in biology: a fertilized egg grows into an adult, a seed to a tree. Biological information processing can be thermodynamic (1010b/sec to 10

  Evolution of swarming behavior is shaped by how predators attack
Olson R., Knoester D., Adami C. Artificial Life 22(3): 299-318, 2016.  Type: Article

The authors investigate the evolution of individual behavior in dynamic distributed systems populated by two sorts of individuals, P and Q, linked by read-only (that is, as opposed to message-passi...

   Self-healing wireless sensor networks
Miyaji A., Omote K. Concurrency and Computation: Practice & Experience 27(10): 2547-2568, 2015.  Type: Article

Miyaji and Omote, in this paper, explore the security of encrypted self-healing features for three different wireless sensor network (WSN) schemes designed to be deployed in hostile environments. In such an environment, one imagines th...

   Molecular communications and nanonetworks: from nature to practical systems
Atakan B., Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, New York, NY, 2014. 184 pp.  Type: Book (978-1-493907-38-0)

Communication in the context of distributed computation on distributed data structures is one of the brightest frontiers in information processing. Locally, it involves the transmission of a signal from one object to another. The signa...

  Advances in applied self-organizing systems (2nd ed.)
Prokopenko M., Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, New York, NY, 2013. 436 pp.  Type: Book (978-1-447151-12-8)

Truly distributed information processing is one of Mother Nature’s best kept secrets. But we have been trying to make it happen. Before 1950, the ripple-carry adder processed (local) patches of (global) numbers in a synchrono...

  Untethered hovering flapping flight of a 3D-printed mechanical insect
Richter C., Lipson H. Artificial Life 17(2): 73-86, 2011.  Type: Article

Richter and Lipson have provided a tutorial in the design and construction of a mechanical insect. Their creation is capable of 85 seconds of stable untethered flight and weighs 3.9 grams. It comprises about 18 parts, half of which wer...

  Biological computation
Lamm E., Unger R., Chapman & Hall/CRC, Boca Raton, FL, 2011. 344 pp.  Type: Book (978-1-420087-95-6)

As a child, I wondered, “Oh, why are the major scientific journals, Nature and Science, so biased toward biology (mushy, and poorly defined) at the expense of chemistry and physics (my favorite subjects)?...

  Computing algebraic functions with biochemical reaction networks
Buisman H., ten Eikelder H., Hilbers P., Liekens A. Artificial Life 15(1): 5-19, 2009.  Type: Article

This is a valuable and very well-written contribution to our understanding of biological information processing. The authors investigate (highly idealized) abstract biochemical reactions in which the chemical inputs and outputs determi...

  Computation in cells and tissues: perspectives and tools of thought (Natural Computing Series)
Bolouri H. (ed), Paton R. (ed), Holcombe M. (ed), Paris J. (ed), Tateson R. (ed), Springer-Verlag, 2004.  Type: Book (9783540003588)

The study of biological information processing has been an important facet of computer science since before World War II. Early contributors to this area include Alan Turing, Warren McCulloch, Walter Pitts, Norbert Wiener, John von Neu...

  Brain power
Shadbolt N. IEEE Intelligent Systems & Their Applications 18(3): 2-3, 2003.  Type: Article

In “Brain power,” Shadbolt makes a case for developing a computational understanding of the dynamics of brain development. A loosely connected collection of brain-facts is presented for readers who may be in a posit...
