What Makes a Computation Unconventional?
arXiv:1303.2507
Abstract
A coherent mathematical overview of computation and its generalisations is described. This conceptual framework is sufficient to comfortably host a wide range of contemporary thinking on embodied computation and its models.
Based on an invited lecture for the 'Symposium on Natural/Unconventional Computing and Its Philosophical Significance' at the AISB/IACAP World Congress 2012, University of Birmingham, July 2-6, 2012
