Heterotic computing: exploiting hybrid computational devices

7 - 8 November 2013, Newport Pagnell, United Kingdom

Introduction

Current computational theory deals almost exclusively with single models: classical, neural, analogue, quantum, etc. In practice, researchers use ad hoc combinations, realising only recently that they can be fundamentally more powerful than the individual parts. This meeting brings together theorists and practitioners of various types of computing, to engage in combining the individual strengths to produce powerful new heterotic devices.
