Abstract: This work draws inspiration from nature to deal with the twin
challenges of parallel asynchronous problem domains and network system
complexity that characterize the information age. Four applied
examples of nature-inspired computation and their advantages over
traditional approaches to the same problems are discussed. The four
examples are as follows: a solution to the mobile phone channel
allocation problem; evolutionary computation; information flocking; and a
radical new computational paradigm inspired by the internal metabolism of
the living cell.
