Heterotic computing: exploiting hybrid computational devices
There is a potentially exciting meeting about unconventional computation in November 2013. Some well-known names will be there. I will be using the opportunity to speak about the NASCENCE project. Hopefully we will have some interesting results to report by then.
I would like to encourage you to register (free). Here are the details of the meeting.
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to announce and invite you to participate in a Theo Murphy Discussion Meeting at the Royal Society's Chicheley Hall 7-8 November 2013.
** Heterotic computing: exploiting hybrid computational devices **
Current computational theory deals almost exclusively with single models: classical, neural, analogue, quantum, etc. In practice, researchers use ad hoc combinations, realising only recently that they can be fundamentally more powerful than the individual parts. This meeting brings together theorists and practitioners of various types of computing, to engage in combining the individual strengths to produce powerful new heterotic devices.
