A couple of general articles, somewhat speculative, are available from my publication list: http://pages.bangor.ac.uk/~mas010/publicfull.htm 130.(with T.

Running many computers is analogous to many dimensional time. And do a web search on "higher dimensional algebra" with for example physics, biology, ...

Dear categoricists,
It is well known that higher category theory has applications in homotopy (Work of Joyal, Lurie, Grothendieck conjecture, etc.).
May someone gives me some references about probable applications of higher category theory in other areas ? I guess in computer science and other areas (rewriting ? etc.), they are probably some works !?
Thank you very much to give me these references and for your help !
Best regards, Camell.
