Information processing and information flow occur in the course
of an organism's development and throughout its lifespan. Organisms do
not exist in isolation, but interact with each other constantly within
a complex ecosystem. The relationships between organisms, such as those
between prey or predator, host and parasite, and between mating
partners, are complex and multidimensional. In all cases, there is
constant communication and information flow at many levels.
This book focuses on information processing by life forms and the
use of information technology in understanding them. Readers are first
given a comprehensive overview of biocomputing before navigating the
complex terrain of natural processing of biological information using
physiological and analogous computing models. The remainder of the book
deals with artificial processing of biological information as a human
endeavor in order to derive new knowledge and gain insight into life
forms and their functioning. Specific innovative applications and tools
for biological discovery are provided as the link and complement to
biocomputing.
Since artificial processing of biological information is
complementary to natural processing, a better understanding of the
former helps us improve the latter. Consequently, readers are exposed
to both domains and, when dealing with biological problems of their
interest, will be better equipped to grasp relevant ideas.
