Natural Computing is the study of computational systems inspired by Nature, including Physical, Social and Biological Systems. As well developing computational models and problem solving tools, UCD's NCRA has a strong tradition of applying these tools to a broad range of problem domains ranging from Business Analytics, Finance, Computer Science, Design, and Architecture to Autonomic Networks, Game Artificial Intelligence, Ecosystem Modelling, Music Composition, Sound Synthesis and Engineering.
