Abstract
Natural Computing derives its inspiration from nature. We mean here that natural phenomenon are used or captured by the researchers or scientists and are used in various computations. When we look at the traditional methods of computations, we see a great deal of programming and lot mechanisms involved which gives us the accurate results. These computations are fast and are well known for their power of complex decision making. But when it comes to transparency, users do not get the insight. Although these lack transparency, their high quality computations were well used by the researchers in various domains and applications. Researchers have been trying to make this computations better and better by trying and testing various paradigms. There was an idea that clicked among the researchers to merge nature and computing together. They started looking at the basic natural phenomenon like flock of birds, movement of ants etc. and using the observation in the form of algorithm to solve their problem statement.
