Dear All, the Department of Economics, Ca' Foscari University of Venice, invite you to the seminar:

********************************************** Speaker: Anthony Brabazon (University College Dublin, IR)

********************************************** Title: Natural Computing

********************************************** Abstract: The field of Natural Computing has been the focus of a substantial research effort in recent decades. One particular strand of this research concerns the development of computational algorithms using metaphorical inspiration from systems and phenomena that occur in the natural world. These naturally inspired computing algorithms have proven to be successful problem solvers across domains as diverse as management science, bioinformatics, finance, marketing, engineering, architecture and design, to name but a few. In this seminar a concise overview of Natural Computing is provided focussing on the sub domain of social computing.
