14:45-15:45 Virus Machines
16:00-17:00 Examples and Future Works on Virus Machines

Anglický abstrakt: Nature has been a constant source of computational inspiration. Cellular automata, artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, evolutionary computation, DNA computing and membrane computing, among others, are a good panoply of examples. In these two talks, Virus Machines, inspired in the way viruses replicate and transmit from one host cell to another, are presented. Then, a review of the first steps in this novel computing model are studied, such as register machines, universality, etc. Finally, explicit examples and future works are discussed.
