Cells and organisms are natural molecular computers. The problem domains effectively addressed by these systems are complementary to, and in fundamental respects far exceed, the domains addressable by current computing devices. The vast majority of information processing problems do not have suf®ciently compact formal speci®cations to fall within the reach of programmable machines. Our working hypothesis is that the unique properties of molecular materials are the key to extending information processing technology beyond the narrow limits of formal computing.

“…However, we restrict our discussion to analog circuit design. A number of successful examples have been published, when the genetic algorithms were used in filters design [5,8], inverters [18], amplifiers [19], transducers [20] etc. A design variety was restricted by the fixed predefined topologies, however.…”

“…Then in case of a faulty event (some circuit's elements are damaged), the evolution could find a satisfactory circuit using the remaining elements of a given reconfigurable device. Furthermore, a number of requirements-such as the environmental conditions under which the circuit must operate for some minimal lifetime at a given minimal failure-can be tested in the fitness function [17].…”
