Susan Stepney the moderator of the the Grand Challenge of Non-Classical Computation wrote(PDF)
“…Today’s computing, classical computing, is a remarkable success story. However, there is a growing appreciation that it encompasses only a small subset of all computational possibilities. There are several paradigms that seem to define classical computing, but these may not be true for all of computation. As these paradigms are systematically challenged, the subject area is widened and enriched.The Grand Challenge of Non-Classical Computation is nothing less than a reconceptulisation of computation…” it “…seeks to explore, generalise, and unify all these many diverse non-classical computational paradigms, to produce a fully mature and rich science of all forms of computation, that unifies the classical and non-classical computational paradigms…”
