This book is dedicated to Professor Selim G. Akl to honour his
groundbreaking research achievements in computer science over
four decades. The book is an intellectually stimulating excursion
into emergent computing paradigms, architectures and
implementations. World top experts in computer science,
engineering and mathematics overview exciting and intriguing
topics of musical rhythms generation algorithms, analyse the
computational power of random walks, dispelling a myth of
computational universality, computability and complexity at the
microscopic level of synchronous computation, descriptional
complexity of error detection, quantum cryptography, context-free
parallel communicating grammar systems, fault tolerance of
hypercubes, finite automata theory of bulk-synchronous parallel
computing, dealing with silent data corruptions in
high-performance computing, parallel sorting on graphics
processing units, mining for functional dependencies in
relational databases, cellular automata optimisation of wireless
sensors networks, connectivity preserving network transformers,
constrained resource networks, vague computing, parallel
evolutionary optimisation, emergent behaviour in multi-agent
systems, vehicular clouds, epigenetic drug discovery,
dimensionality reduction for intrusion detection systems,
physical maze solvers, computer chess, parallel algorithms to
string alignment, detection of community structure. The book is a
unique combination of vibrant essays which inspires scientists
and engineers to exploit natural phenomena in designs of
computing architectures of the future.
