12th International Conference on Bio-Inspired Computing: Theories And Application

BIC-TA 2017


Bioinformatics & Computational Biology



The 12th International Conference on Bio-inspired Computing: Theories and Applications(BIC-TA 2017) will be held in Harbin, China from Dec. 1 to 3,2017. Located in the center of Northeast Asia, Harbin is called the bright pearl on the Bridge of Eurasia Land, and it is also an important hub of EurasiaL and Bridge and air corridor. The special historical course and geographical position has contributed to Harbin, the beautiful city with an exotic tone,which not only brings together the historical culture of northern ethnic minorities, but also combines western and eastern culture. It is a famous historical and tourist city in China, with many beautiful names such as “The City of Culture”, “The City of Music”, “Ice City”,“A Pearl under the Neck of the Swan”,“Eastern Moscow”and“Eastern Little Paris”.
BIC-TA 2017 serves as a forum for scientists, engineers, educators, and practitioners to exchange the latest advantages in theories, technologies, and applications of bio-inspired computing theories and related areas. Prospective authors are invited to contribute high-quality papers (10-15 pages) to BIC-TA 2017 through Online Submission System. Papers presented at BIC-TA 2017 will be published in Springer’s Communications in Computer and Information Science (indexed by EI, DBLP, ISI, Google Scholar,Scopus, SCImago)and some high-quality papers will be selected for special issues in SCI-indexed International Journals.
