Computational biology includes diverse applications of computer science
to the problems of biological research and simulation. Of these topics,
we find ourselves most intrigued by the fields of emergent computation,
where principles of use to computer scientists can be derived from insights
in biology. The biological insight of evolutionary change gives rise
to evolutionary computation, including evolutionary programming, genetic
algorithms, and artificial life. The biological insight of neural
mediated behavior in organisms gives rise to artificial neural systems.
