The completion of the first draft of the human genome has led to an explosion of interest in genetics and molecular biology. The view of the genome as a network of interacting computational components is well-established, but researchers are now trying to reverse the analogy, by using living organisms to construct logic circuits. The potential applications for such technologies is huge, ranging from bio-sensors, through industrial applications to drug delivery and diagnostics. This book would be the first to deal with the implementation of this technology, describing several working...

DNA computation has emerged in the last ten years as an exciting new - search ?eld at the intersection (and, some would say, frontiers) of computer science, biology, engineering, andmathematics.AlthoughanticipatedbyFe- man as long ago as the 1950s 59], the notion of performing computations at a molecular level was only realized in 1994, with Adleman's seminal work 3] on computing with DNA. Since then the ?eld has blossomed rapidly, with signi?cant theoretical and experimental results being reported regularly. Several books 120, 39] have described various aspects of DNA compu- tion, but...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Unconventional Computation and Natural Computation, UCNC 2016, held in Manchester, UK, in July 2016. The 15 revised full papers presented together with 5 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 30 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics including molecular, cellular, quantum, optical and chaos computing; cellular automata; neural and evolutionary computation; artificial immune systems; Ant algorithms and swarm intelligence; amorphous computing; membrane computing;...
