Why this conference, and who should attend:
Brain Inspired Cognitive Systems 2008 aims to bring together leading
scientists and engineers who use analytic, formal or computational
methods both to understand the prodigious processing properties of
biological systems, particularly the brain, and to exploit such
knowledge to advance technology towards ever higher levels of
cognitive competence. The four major symposia are organized in
patterns that encourage cross-fertilization across the symposia
topics. This emphasizes that BICS 2008 will be a major point of
contact for researchers and practitioners who can benefit from not
only the major advances in their specialist fields but also from the
diversity of each other's views. Each of the four mornings is devoted
to papers that will be selected for their clear novelty and proven
scientific impact, while the afternoons will provide scope for
researchers to present their current work and discuss their aims and
ambitions. Debates across disciplines will unite researchers with
differing perspectives.
