Prof. Dr. Wolfram Pernice
International Workshop on Physical Computing
Prof. Dr. Antonio Calà Lesina (Leibniz University Hannover) and Prof. Dr. Wolfram Pernice (Heidelberg University) invited a fantastic goup of speakers to a picturesque medieval town in Sicily. The workshop theme is driven by the idea that physical concepts, functional materials and devices could be used to run computations directly, in contrast to using logic gates. There are several emerging themes and implementations of this concept, which we would like to cover in depth.
