自然计算是一种有效模仿自然界各类运行机制的优化理念与全新的计算智能思维范型.从自然辩证的视角思考并探讨自然计算的统一性与多样性的关系,首先提出一种自然计算研究框架模型;然后对启发源到研究分支,从计算模式到应用领域,从软硬件实现到计算机研制等方面进行系统性的综述,最后给出自然计算模式的统一性理念,提出自然计算的统一性计算分析框架.
Nature-inspired computation(NIC) is a heuristic optimization concept and a novel thinking pattern of computational intelligence by imitating various operating mechanisms effectively in nature.This paper studies the relationship between unification and diversity of NIC models from the dialectical perspective of natural philosophy.First,a kind of general framework for studying NIC is proposed;Second,all kinds of existing NIC models are systemic summarized in this paper,from inspiration source to research branch,from computing models to their applications,from hardware-software implements to computer development,as well as other aspects;Finally,based on the proposed unification concept of NIC models,calculation principle and analysis framework of the unification of NIC is refined and presented.
