**About IBICA 2022** ------------------

IBICA'22 is the 13th 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 further explore the intriguing potential of Bio-inspired Computing. IBICA 2022 will be held online.

**Topics (not limited to)** --------------------------- Bio-inspired Computing Ant Colony System Artificial Immune Systems Artificial Intelligence Artificial Neural Networks Cellular Automaton Cognitive Modeling DNA Computing Differential Evolution Emergent Systems Evolutionary Computations Evolutionary Strategies/Programming Fuzzy Logic Genetic Algorithms/Programming Granular Computing Neutrosophic Systems Organic Computing P Systems Particle Swarm Optimization Emerging Technologies & Applications Intelligent Distributed and High-Perfomance Architecture
