Course Content and Term Projects:
This course has four main parts: i) What is computing and computation?  ii) What is DNA computing? iii) What is membrane computing? iv) What is Quantum Computing? In each of these sub-areas a case study will be carried out by the student groups (usually formed by three students) in the class. The written report of each project, submitted by each group, will be corrected and returned. The grade is assigned to each group and all the students in the same group will get the same grade for that report. Individual course grades will be assigned to each student in the class after the final presentation. The topic of the final presentation will be chosen by individuals in the class and should be based on one of the four term projects and should take into account the corrections and suggestions of its written report.

Tentative dates: 

The first report is tentatively due on September 14
The second report is tentatively due on October 5
The third report is tentatively due on November 2
The fourth report is tentatively due on November 23
The final presentations will be carried out during the first week of December (last week of classes).
