INTRODUCTION TO BICS2025

BICS 2025 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 focusing on popular and timely topics.

All registered and presented BICS papers will be published in Springer LNAl/LNCS proceedings and indexed by El Compendex. Selected papers will be published in special issues of SCI journals, such as Cognitive Computation, Neurocomputing et al.

The 2025 International Conference on Brain Inspired Cognitive Systems (BICS 2025) will be held in Hefei, Anhui, China, as a sequel of BICS 2004 - 2023. The first BICS 2004 was held in Stirling, Scotland, UK and the last BICS 2023 was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

BICS 2025 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 focusing on popular and timely topics.

All registered and presented BICS papers will be published in Springer LNAI proceedings and indexed by EI Compendex. Selected papers will be published in special issues of Cognitive Computation Journal (ISI SCI Impact Factor:4.3): http://springer.com/12559, and Neural Computing and Applications (ISI SCI Impact Factor: 3.0): https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/14680394
