SemNat - Semantic models and technologies for natural computing

(CAPABILITIES, Module III, Greece-Romania bilateral collaboration project, no. 582/16.07.2012)

    Project summary

The aim of the present proposal is to develop innovative formal semantics and prototype technologies for natural computing. The research focuses on bio-inspired and quantum-inspired languages and computing phenomena. We develop denotational and operational semantics for (models of) natural computing. We combine well-established techniques, including continuation, monads, and fixed point constructions, in new and innovative ways. We design prototype languages and systems inspired by natural phenomena, in particular following the membrane computing paradigm. We also apply natural computing techniques in the field of image processing. For experimental purposes we use Cloud and Peer-to-Peer platforms.
