Open Questions about Time and Self-reference in Living Systems
Samson Abramsky, Wolfgang Banzhaf, Leo S. D. Caves +5
Living systems exhibit a range of fundamental characteristics: they are active, self-referential, self-modifying systems. This paper explores how these characteristics create chall…
A perspective on physical reservoir computing with nanomagnetic devices
Dan A Allwood, Matthew O A Ellis, David Griffin +11
Neural networks have revolutionized the area of artificial intelligence and introduced transformative applications to almost every scientific field and industry. However, this succ…
Reservoir Computing with Magnetic Thin Films
Matthew Dale, David Griffin, Richard F. L. Evans +6
Advances in artificial intelligence are driven by technologies inspired by the brain, but these technologies are orders of magnitude less powerful and energy efficient than biologi…
MetaChem: An Algebraic Framework for Artificial Chemistries
Penelope Faulkner Rainford, Angelika Sebald, Susan Stepney
We introduce MetaChem, a language for representing and implementing Artificial Chemistries. We motivate the need for modularisation and standardisation in representation of artific…
A Substrate-Independent Framework to Characterise Reservoir Computers
Matthew Dale, Julian F. Miller, Susan Stepney +1
The Reservoir Computing (RC) framework states that any non-linear, input-driven dynamical system (the reservoir) exhibiting properties such as a fading memory and input separabilit…
Computability and Complexity of Unconventional Computing Devices
Hajo Broersma, Susan Stepney, Goran Wendin
We discuss some claims that certain UCOMP devices can perform hypercomputation (compute Turing-uncomputable functions) or perform super-Turing computation (solve NP-complete proble…
When does a physical system compute?
Dominic Horsman, Susan Stepney, Rob C. Wagner +1
Computing is a high-level process of a physical system. Recent interest in non-standard computing systems, including quantum and biological computers, has brought this physical bas…
A Framework for Heterotic Computing
Susan Stepney, Viv Kendon, Peter Hines +1
Computational devices combining two or more different parts, one controlling the operation of the other, for example, derive their power from the interaction, in addition to the ca…
Boolean logic gate design principles in unconventional computers: an NMR case study
Matthias Bechmann, Angelika Sebald, Susan Stepney
We present a general method for analysing novel computational substrates to determine which of their parameters can be manipulated to exhibit the complete set of 2-input boolean lo…
