Foreword
The beginning of the computer era was accompanied by a couple of exciting interdisciplinary concepts. Norbert Wiener established the discipline cybernetics, which emphasizes (self)-regulation as a principle in natural and artificial systems. McCulloch’s and Pitts’ artificial neuron, Rosenblatt’s perceptron, and Steinbuch’s ‘Lernmatrix’ as means for pattern recognition and classification raised hopes for brain-like machines. Not much later, Jack Steele coined the term bionics (later also called biomimetics) for all kinds of efforts to learn from living systems in order to create technical devices or processes for solving tasks in innovative ways. Three (at least) groups of people, at the same time but at different locations (San Diego and Ann Arbor in the US and Berlin in Germany) began to mimic mutati
