**About IBICA 2021**
------------------

IBICA'21 is the 12th 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 explore further the intriguing
potential of Bio-inspired Computing. IBICA 2021 will be held online.
