December 14-15, 2023

IBICA 2023 will be a hybrid conference that will run fully in-person and fully virtually to take advantage of the best that the two modalities can offer. Besides regular paper presentations, the technical programme will include 8-10 plenary lectures and poster sessions. IBICA 2023 Organising Committee also recognises the benefits of virtual conferences allowing participation at a cheaper rate. This allows a higher number of research scholars and students to attend. Selected authors will have the option to attend and present the papers virtually or present in one of the three venues in Europe and Asia.

Proceedings of IBICA'23 will be published with Springer Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems (LNNS) series. (https://www.springer.com/series/15179) (Approval Pending)

** About IBICA 2023 **
-------------------------------------

IBICA'23 is the 14th 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 2023 will be held in hybrid mode..
