Abstract

Bio&#8211;inspired computing is a field of study that loosely knits together subfields related to the topics of connectionism, social behavior and emergence&#046; It is often closely related to the field of artificial intelligence, as many of its pursuits can be linked to machine learning&#046; It relies heavily on the fields of biology, computer science and mathematics&#046; Briefly put, Biologically inspired computing is a major subset of natural computation<br>Bio&#8211;inspired computation is a field that includes different computational approaches that are based on principles or models of biological systems&#046; The used methods rely heavily on the fields of biology, computer science and mathematics&#046; In general speaking, bio&#8211;inspired computing uses computers to model nature in the hope that the study of nature may improve the usage of computers&#046; This class of methods, such as evolutionary algorithms, ant colony optimization, and swarm intelligence, complements traditional techniques&#046; Bio&#8211;inspired computational methods are nowadays applied to large&#8211;scale applications where only little is known about the treated problem and where the well&#8211;known classic approaches generally fail&#046; Therefore, bio&#8211;inspired methods are becoming increasingly important to face of the complexity of today&#8242;s demanding applications&#046; Their usage has been very promising in various fields ranging from computer, electronics and mechanical engineering to chemical engineering and molecular biology&#046;<br>
