Handbook of Nature-Inspired and Innovative Computing Integrating Classical Models with Emerging Technologies

From the reviews:

“Handbook contains 22 chapters, written in a ‘workshop style’ … . I found this volume to be a fascinating, and ‘gentle,’ introduction to a wide range of nonstandard research areas of computer science. … this book used as the basis for a seminar on approaches to decentralized computation. … I consider it a collection of tutorials … . I think this book would be of use to anyone with some CS sophistication who desires exposure to a wide range of newer or less-publicized research areas.” (Aaron Sterling, The Book Review Column, 2011)
