Melanie Swan has written an interesting piece about Expanding notion of Computing on her blog Broader Perspective. In response to the question how computing definitions and realms are evolving, she writes
the traditional linear Von Neumann model is being extended with new materials, 3D architectures, molecular electronics and solar transistors. Novel computing models are being investigated such as quantum computing, parallel architectures, cloud computing, liquid computing and the cell broadband architecture like that used in the IBM Roadrunner supercomputer. Biological computing models and biology as a substrate are also under exploration with 3D DNA nanotechnology, DNA computing, biosensors, synthetic biology, cellular colonies and bacterial intelligence, and the discovery of novel computing paradigms existing in biology such as the topological equations by which ciliate DNA is encrypted.
