Memetic-Computing
Memetic Computing is a novel computational paradigm that incorporates the notion of meme(s)[1] as basic units of transferable information encoded in computational representations for boosting the performance of artificial evolutionary systems in the domain of search and optimization[2].
The term Memetic Computing is often unassumingly taken to mean the same thing as memetic algorithms in a synonymous manner. Clearly, such a narrow and restrictive notion or perception of Memetic computing does not do justice to the expanse of this research discipline. Memetic computing thus offers a much broader scope, perpetuating the idea of memes into concepts that capture the richness of algorithms that defines a new generation of computational methodologies. It is defined as a paradigm that uses the notion of meme(s) as units of information encoded in computational representations for the purpose of problem solving.

Applications
Recent research works have shown that the concept of "meme" dispersal and selection can be exploited in, for example, robotics engineering, multi-agent systems, robotics, optimization, software engineering, and the social sciences.
