2nd workshop New Worlds of Computation 2011 LIFO,
University of Orléans (France) Monday May 23rd, 2011

**********************************************************************
Topics
The workshop New Worlds of Computation concentrates on models of
computation that fall out of the Turing context:
* Analog computation, Continuous computation, Hybrid systems,
* Computation on infinite structures (Ordinals, linear orders),
* Hypercomputation, Infinite time computation, Non-Euclidean
* spaces, Non-standard approaches, Optical collision, Abstract
* geometrical computation, Cellular automata, Collision based,
* quantum, DNA, membrane...
The classical Turing computability has been THE paradigm for
computation for more than half a century. In less than two decades,
various paradigms have been proposed (invented, discovered or
reframed) and communities have emerged: computable analysis, algebraic
models, Quantum computing, DNA, Cellular automaton... All of them fall
outside the classical context because they manipulate objects that are
just out of the classical scope (infinite objects or uncountably many
values) or continuous or infinite time. Unfortunately, there is no
miraculous generalized Church-Turing thesis (nor specialized analog
nor...).
The workshop aims at gathering researchers of a scattered but wide
off-Turing community in order to share points of view and bring forth
the common problematics. The audience aimed at is roughly the same as:
* Machines, Computations and Universality Unconventional
* Computation Computability in Europe Hypercomputation Research
* Network
