Intelligent Computing Everywhere reflects the current perception in various fields that modern computing applications are becoming increasingly challenged in terms of complexity and intelligence.
It investigates the relevance and relationship artificial intelligence maintains with "modern strands of computing" i.e. pervasive computing and ambient intelligence, bioinformatics, neuroinformatics, computing and the mind, non-classical computing and novel computing models, as well as DNA computing and quantum computing.
Each subject is examined from two main viewpoints, the first provides a state of the art introduction to a field such as DNA computing and the second investigates the subject from an artificial intelligence perspective.

Summary
Modern computing applications are becoming increasingly complex and sophisticated. This new book investigates the relevance and relationship between artificial intelligence and modern trends in computing. Using this perspective, the editor and authors explore some of the most exciting fields in computing today, including pervasive computing, autonomic computing, bioinformatics, artificial life, artificial synthetic life, DNA computing, and quantum computing. Each of these subjects is examined from two main viewpoints. The first viewpoint provides a state-of-the-art introduction to the subject itself; the second viewpoint investigates the subject from an artificial intelligence perspective.
