The Quantum Dot Cellular Automata (QCA) paradigm for nano-computing, put forward by the Notre Dame, USA group, manages to achieve the minimal heat dissipation and the ultimate in coding one bit, in the charge configuration state of a mixed valence molecule. The QCA paradigm is a leading contender to take...

This presentation will discuss Dead-Zone (DZ) Logic as a shareable technique that could be used in many fields. Dead-Zone (DZ) logic is a simple mechanism to prevent unnecessary, inefficient and ineffective control brevity when, for example, a self-adapting system is sufficiently close to its target state. It is implemented using...

“There is always much talk within the academy of interdisciplinary research and teaching. Achieving this, however, is tricky, as staying within the comfort of one’s own discipline is often much easier. The opportunity, therefore, to launch a collaboration between History and Computer Science was one that I welcomed wholeheartedly… Overall,...
