commercial hub of Northeastern China. The city is well-known for its
modern infrastructure, convenient land and air transport network, and
abundant natural resources.
Scope:
BICS 2012 aims to provide a high-level international forum for
scientists, engineers, and educators to present the state-of-the-art
in brain-inspired cognitive systems research and applications in
diverse fields, under the following four Symposia/Tracks:
Cognitive Neuroscience (CNS), Models of Consciousness (MoC),
Neural Computation (NC) and Biologically Inspired System (BIS).
The conference will feature plenary lectures given by
world renowned scholars, regular sessions with broad coverage, and
some special sessions focusing on popular and timely topics.
All papers accepted by and presented at BICS 2012 will be published by
Springer as multiple volumes of Lecture Notes in Artificial
Intelligence (LNAI) which will be indexed by EI and ISTP. Selected
papers will be published in special issues of several SCI journals.
