   Second International ICSC Symposium on
   Models of Consciousness (MoC 2006)
   From foundations to implementations
   Chair: Ron Chrisley , University of Sussex, U.K.

   Fourth International ICSC Symposium on
   Biologically Inspired Systems (BIS 2006)
   Design and implementation of biologically inspired and neuromorphic
   systems
   Chair: Leslie Smith, University of Stirling, U.K.

   Third International ICSC Symposium on
   Cognitive Neuro Science (CNS 2006)
   Models of cognitive systems;
   Chair: Igor Aleksander, Imperial College London, U.K

   Fifth International ICSC Symposium on
   Neural Computation (NC'2006)
   Progress in neural systems
   Chair: Amir Hussain, University of Stirling, U.K.

                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.
