What is another word for bio-inspired computing?
Pronunciation: [bˈa͡ɪə͡ʊɪnspˈa͡ɪ͡əd kəmpjˈuːtɪŋ] (IPA) 
Bio-inspired computing refers to computer-based systems and processes that emulate the behavior, structures and functions of biological systems. These systems are built using algorithms and techniques that are inspired by nature and biological systems. Some synonyms for bio-inspired computing include biomimetics, biologically-inspired computing, artificial life, and evolutionary computing. Biomimetics refers to the study of structures within nature to develop technologies that are similar in function and form. Biologically-inspired computing models living organisms to solve complex computing problems. Artificial life simulates the properties and behaviors of living systems to develop computing systems. Evolutionary computing models evolution in the natural world to develop algorithms and processes for computing. All these terms are used interchangeably with bio-inspired computing.
