is the 12th International Conference on Innovations in Bio-Inspired
Computing and Applications. The aim of IBICA is to provide a platform
for world research leaders and practitioners to discuss the
"full-spectrum" of current theoretical developments, emerging
technologies, and innovative applications of Bio-inspired Computing.
Bio-inspired Computing is currently one of the most exciting research
areas, and it is continuously demonstrating exceptional strength in
solving complex real-life problems. The main driving force of the
conference is to explore further the intriguing potential of
Bio-inspired Computing. IBICA 2021 will be held online.<br><br>**Topics (not limited to)**<br>---------------------------<br>Bio-inspired Computing<br>Ant Colony System<br>Artificial Immune Systems<br>Artificial Intelligence<br>Artificial Neural Networks<br>Cellular Automaton<br>Cognitive Modeling<br>DNA Computing<br>Differential Evolution<br>Emergent Systems<br>Evolutionary Computations<br>Evolutionary Strategies/Programming<br>Fuzzy Logic<br>Genetic Algorithms/Programming<br>Granular Computing<br>Neutrosophic Systems<br>Organic Computing<br>P Systems<br>Particle Swarm Optimization<br>Emerging Technologies & Applications<br>Intelligent Distributed and High-Perfomance Architecture<br><br>**Submission Guidelines**<br>-------------------------<br><br>Submission of paper should be made through the submission page from the conference web page. <br>Please refer to the conference website for guidelines to prepare your manuscript.<br><br>Paper format templates:<br><a href="https://www.springer.com/de/authors-editors/book-authors-editors/manuscript-preparation/5636#c3324">https://www.springer.com/de/authors-editors/book-authors-editors/manuscript-preparation/5636#c3324</a><br><br>IBICA’21 Submission Link:<br><a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ibica2021">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ibica2021</a><br><br>**Plenary Talks**<br>-----------------------------<br>You
