Feature Article We develop approaches to realizing feedforward loops and certain memory functions (associative memory) with autonomous enzymatic-cascade biochemical processes. Such systems will offer possibilities for utilizing bio-inspired information handling steps on par with the presently used digital gates. Thus, we can be guided by nature's mechanisms in our experimenting with new informa...

In this paper, we present a bio-inspired job scheduling mechanism that enables the adaptation of largescale, naturally parallel and compute-intensive Monte Carlo tasks to clustered computational farms. Examples of such farms include large-scale computational grids, with heterogeneous and dynamic performance. The kernel of this scheduling mechanism is a swarm intelligent algorithm, which is insp...
