Bridging paradigm gaps between biology and engineering

Abstract :
Computing and communications are well understood topics in engineering. However, we are very much at the beginning of the road to understanding those mechanisms in biological systems. I´ll argue that progress in biology will require better understanding of biologically inspired paradigms for computing and communications. In particular, I´ll discuss some initial results related to asynchronous circuits with feedback and to delay insensitive communications.
