BICS 2018 - The 9th International Conference on Brain Inspired Cognitive System

The 9th International Conference on Brain Inspired Cognitive Systems (BICS 2018) will be held in Xi’an, China, as a sequel of BICS 2004 - 2016. It is co-organised by Northwestern Polytechnical University (www.nwpu.edu.cn) and The Guangzhou Key Laboratory of Digital Content Processing and Security Technologies (www.gpnu.edu.cn).
Geographically located at the heart of China, Xi’an is the capital and largest city of Shaanxi Province. It once served as the capital city of ancient China for 13 dynasties, with a history of 5,000 years. Xi’an witnessed the most glorious history of China, and now ranks as one of the top 10 tourist destinations in China with a distinctive culture. Xi'an is the starting point of the Silk Road and home to the Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor in Chinese history.
BICS 2018 aims to provide a high-level international forum for scientists, engineers, and educators to present the state of the art of brain inspired cognitive systems research and applications in diverse fields. The conference will feature plenary lectures given by world renowned scholars, regular sessions with broad coverage, and some special sessions and workshops focusing on popular and timely topics.
BICS 2018 conference proceedings will be published as part of Springer LNAI Series and indexed by EI. Selected papers will be published in a special issue of the leading (ISI SCI indexed) Springer journal: Cognitive Computation Journal (http://springer.com/12559 - current ISI Impact Factor: 3.44).
