A look at the natural and social sciences

, Vol. 2, No. 3 CCC 1076-2787/97/03031-07 INTRODUCTION A recent spate of writings has argued that in a fundamental sense, science is reaching limits. The basic claims of this work are twofold. First, it is argued that for many areas of inquiry, notably physics, chemistry, and biology, science has provided an essentially accurate view of nature. The theories of evolution, relativity, and quantum...

Natural Computing Builds a Bridge between Computer Science and Natural Sciences

Natural computing is the field of research that investigates models and computational techniques inspired by nature and, dually, attempts to understand the world around us in terms of information processing. It is a highly interdisciplinary field that connects the natural sciences with computing science, both at the level of information technology and at the level of fundamental research. As a ...

Scale free graphs have attracted attention by their non-uniform structure that can be used as a model for various social and physical networks. In this paper, we propose two natural and simple random models for generating scale free interval graphs. These models generate a set of intervals randomly, which defines a random interval graph. The main advantage of those models are its simpleness. Th...
