	Analog computer - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		An analog/analogue computer is a form of computer that uses electronic or mechanical phenomena to model the problem being solved by using one kind of physical quantity to represent another.
		There is an intermediate group, hybrid computers, in which a digital computer is used to control and organize inputs and outputs to and from attached analog devices; for instance analog devices might be used to help generate initial values for iterations, or the analog computer might be used to solve a non-analytic differential equation problem.
		Computations are often performed, in analog computers, by using properties of electrical resistance, voltages and so on.

	Analogy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Computer applications demand that there are some identical attributes or relations at some level of abstraction.
		For example, wind tunnels are used to test scale models of wings and aircraft, which act as an analog to full-size wings and aircraft.
		For example, the MONIAC Computer (an analog computer) used the flow of water in its pipes as an analog to the flow of money in an economy.

		- Computer science and information theory, where attempts at artificial intelligence, collective intelligence and robotics focus on mimicking living beings' capacities for cognition, or applying the experience gathered in one place by one being to actions by another being elsewhere.
		One of the goals of automated theorem proving is to design computer programs to produce and check formal proofs.
		In other words, it is the reasoning process that starts from a set of facts and derives their most likely explanations.
