In a volume dedicated to the memory of Claude E. Shannon, whose master's thesis on "An Algebra for Theoretical Genetics" won him a Nobel Prize for the mathematical framework demonstrating that any logical statement could be implemented as a network of switches, Shmerko (electrical and computer engineering, U. of Calgary, Canada) utilizes this idea as the basis for some major nanosystem design tools. Taking an interdisciplinary approach to all stages of the design cycle, the authors introduce the theoretical basis and computational paradigms for nanocomputing structures based on congruency between data structure computational properties and the physical/biochemical properties of nano- and molecular technology. The prospect for natural computing based on nature-based computing paradigms is also discussed.
