Download or read book Cellular Computing written by Martyn Amos and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-08-05 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 experimental demonstrations using cells as components of logic circuits, building toward computers incorporating biological components in their functioning.

Download or read book Universality and Emergent Computation in Cellular Neural Networks written by Radu Dogaru and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2003 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cellular computing is a natural information processing paradigm, capable of modeling various biological, physical and social phenomena, as well as other kinds of complex adaptive systems. The programming of a cellular computer is in many respects similar to the genetic evolution in biology, the result being a proper cell design and a task-specific gene.How should one ?program? the cell of a cellular computer such that a dynamic behavior with computational relevance will emerge? What are the ?rules? for designing a computationally universal and efficient cell?The answers to those questions can be found in this book. It introduces the relatively new paradigm of the cellular neural network from an original perspective and provides the reader with the guidelines for understanding how such cellular computers can be ?programmed? and designed optimally. The book contains numerous practical examples and software simulators, allowing readers to experiment with the various phases of designing cellular computers by themselves.

Download or read book Wireless Internet and Mobile Computing written by Yu-Kwong Ricky Kwok and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2007-08-24 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the technologies involved in all aspects of a large networking system and how the various devices can interact and communicate with each other. Using a bottom up approach the authors demonstrate how it is feasible, for instance, for a cellular device user to communicate, via the all-purpose TCP/IP protocols, with a wireless notebook computer user, traversing all the way through a base station in a cellular wireless network (e.g., GSM, CDMA), a public switched network (PSTN), the Internet, an intranet, a local area network (LAN), and a wireless LAN access point. The information bits, in travelling through this long path, are processed by numerous disparate communication technologies. The authors also describe the technologies involved in infrastructure less wireless networks.
