Module title:Nature-Inspired Computation
Module codeECMM409
Module lecturers:Dr Zeliang Wang
Module credits:15

Traditional computation finds it either difficult or impossible to perform a wide range  of tasks  including product design, decision making, logistics and scheduling, pattern recognition and problem solving. However, nature is proven to be highly adept at solving problems making it possible to take inspiration from these methods and to create computing techniques based on natural systems.  This module will provide you with the knowledge to create and apply techniques based on evolution, the intelligence of swarms of insects and flocks of animals, and the way the human brain is thought to process information.  This module is appropriate for you if you have an interest in optimisation and data analysis, and have some programming and mathematical experience.
