Amorphous computing: a research agenda for the near future

摘要: Amorphous computing presents a novel computational paradigm. The respective models have been recently introduced and studied in series of works by J. Wiedermann his Ph.D. student L. Petr?. From viewpoint, amorphous systems differ from the classical ones almost every aspect: they consist set tiny, independent self-powered processors or robots that can communicate wirelessly to limited distance. are randomly placed closed area volume form an ad-hoc network; some applications move, either actively, passively (e.g., bloodstream). Assuming exponential progress all sciences resulting our ability produce with myriads processors, unmatched application potential is expected profoundly change areas science life. But prior this state matters theoretical practical studies properties efficiency must be performed. It indispensable part computer will affected trend.
