The goal is to produce informatics tools with enhanced robustness, scalability, flexibility and which can interface more effectively with humans. It is a multi-disciplinary field strongly based on Biology, Computer Science, Informatics, Cognitive Science, and robotics. In this course we study bio-inspired algorithms in security, information retrieval, computational intelligence, robotics, modeling and simulation, machine learning, and biology itself. Students will be introduced to fundamental topics in bioinspired computing, and build up their proficiency in the application of various algorithms to real-world problems.
