As a pioneer in the field of cybernetics, he enthusiastically pro- moted interdisciplinary research. The term cybernetics stems from the Greek Kυβ(cid:4)ρνη´της (kybernetes),whichmeanssteersman,governor,orpilot,thesame root as government.Cybernetics is a broad field of study, but the essential goal ofcyberneticsistounderstandanddefinethefunctionsandprocessesofsystems that have goals, and promote circular, causal chains that move from action to sensing to comparison with a desired goal, and again to action. These defini- tions can be applied to Prof. Mira. He was a leader, a pilot, with a visionary and extraordinary capacity to guide his students and colleagues to the desired objective. In this way he promoted the study and understanding of biological functions for creating new computational paradigms able to solve known prob- lems in a more efficient way than classical approaches. But he also impressed his magnificent and generous character on all the researchers and friends that workedwithhim,imprintinginallofushighrequirementsofexcellencenotonly as scientists, but also as human beings. Weallrememberhisenthusiasticexplanationaboutthedomainsandlevelsin thecomputationalparadigm(CP).Inhisownwords,thisparadigmincludesnot only the physicallevel,but alsothe meaningofcalculus passingoverasymbolic level (SL) and a knowledge level (KL), where percepts, objectives, intentions, plans, and goals reside. In addition, in each level it is necessary to distinguish between the semantics and the causality inherent to that level phenomenology (owndomain,OD)andthesemanticsassociatedtophenomenologiesintheexter- nal observersdomain (EOD). It is also important to note that own experiences, whichemergefromneuralcomputationinaconsciousreflexivelevel,onlymatch partially with what is communicable by natural language.We want to continue Prof. Mira’s scientific navigation by attaining a deeper understanding of the relations between the observable, and hence measurable, and the semantics as- sociated to the physical signals world, i.e., between physiology and cognition, between natural language and computer hardware. This is the theme of the IWINAC meetings the “interplay” movement be- tween the natural and artificial, addressing this problem every two years. We want to know how to model biological processes that are associated with mea- surablephysicalmagnitudesand,consequently,wealsowanttodesignandbuild robots that imitate the corresponding behaviors based on that knowledge. This synergisticapproachwillpermitusnotonlytobuildnewcomputationalsystems VI Preface based on the natural measurable phenomena, but also to understand many of the observable behaviors inherent to natural systems. The difficultyofbuilding bridgesovernaturalandartificialcomputationwas one of the main motivations for the organization of IWINAC 2009. These two books of proceedings contain the works of the invited speakers, Profs. Maravall and Ferna´ndez, and the 108 works selected by the Scientific Committee, after a refereeing process. In the first volume, entitled Methods and Models in Artifi- cial and Natural Computation: A Homage to Professor Mira’s Scientific Legacy, we include some articles by Prof. Mira’s former disciples, who relate the rele- vance of their work with him from a scientific and personal point of view, the most recent collaborationswith his colleagues,and the rest of the contributions that are closer to the theoretical, conceptual, and methodological aspects link- ing AI and knowledge engineering with neurophysiology, clinics, and cognition. The second volume entitled Bioinspired Applications in Artificial and Natural Computation contains all the contributions connected with biologically inspired methods and techniques for solving AI and knowledge engineering problems in different application domains. An event of the nature of IWINAC 2009 cannot be organized without the collaborationofagroupofinstitutionsandpeople,whomwewouldliketothank, starting with UNED and Universidad Polit´ecnica de Cartagena. The collabora- tion of the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, and especially its rector Senen Barro, has been crucial, as has the efficient work of Roberto Iglesias and the rest of the Local Committee. In addition to our universities, we received financialsupportfromthe Spanish Ministerio de Educacio´n y Ciencia, the Pro- grama de Tecnolog´ıas Futuras y Emergentes (FET) de la Comisio´n Europea, the Xunta de Galicia, APLIQUEM s.l., I.B.M., Fundaci´on Pedro Barri´e de la Maza and the Concello de Santiago de Compostela. Finally, we would also like to thank the authorsfor their interest inour calland the effort inpreparingthe papers, a condition sine qua non for these proceedings, and to all the Scientific andOrganizingCommittees,particularlythemembersofthesecommittees that have acted as effective and efficient referees and as promoters and managers of pre-organized sessions on autonomous and relevant topics under the IWINAC global scope. Our deep gratitude goes to Springer and Alfred Hofmann, along with Anna KramerandErikaSiebert-Cole,forthecontinuousreceptivityandcollaboration in all our editorial joint ventures on the interplay between neuroscience and computation. All the authors of papers in this volume as well as the IWINAC Program andOrganizingCommitteesdedicatethisspecialvolumetothememoryofProf. Mira as a person, scientist and friend. We will greatly miss him.
