Abstract

The main issue to be presented in this paper is based on the premise that Nature computes, that is, processes information. This is the fundamental of Natural Computing. Biogeographic Computation will be presented as a Natural Computing approach aimed at investigating ecosystems computing. The first step towards formalizing Biogeographic Computation will be given by defining a metamodel, a framework capable of generating models that compute through the elements of an ecosystem. It will also be discussed how this computing can be realized in current computers.
