Notification of Acceptance | June 7, 2018 |
Many specifics of the bioinspired intelligence are not well addressed by the conventional models currently used in the field of artificial intelligence. The purpose of the work conference is to present and discuss novel ideas, work and results related to alternative techniques for bioinspired approaches, which depart from mainstream procedures.
Nowadays, the studies based on complex system is opened new doors in research field and in particular, to improve the quality and the results of diverse applications. The bioinspired intelligence is done easy this task and in areas like, biodiversity conservation, biomedicine, security applications, etc.

Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Authors are welcome to submit unpublished papers and attend the IEEE International Work Conference on Bioinspired Intelligence (IWOBI 2018). The following paper categories are welcome.
Full Paper: Minimum of 4 pages (no more than 8 pages), must be written in English and use standard IEEE two-column conference templates that can be downloaded from http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process.
General Instructions on Paper Review Process
All the submitted Papers will be reviewed by a committee and assessed on the basis of originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Accepted authors will be notified starting May 28, 2018 June 7, 2018, and a final paper in PDF format will be required by June 11, 2018 June 18, 2018. The review committee may recommend rejection of final papers that do not take account of reviewers’ requirements and expectations in an acceptable manner. The conference chair reserves the right to remove papers from the conference proceedings that do not meet the requirements.
Final submission with IEEE Xplore®-compatible PDFs
All PDFs to be included in IEEE Xplore (e.g. title page, copyright page, author index, etc.) should be validated through PDF eXpress for IEEE Xplore compatibility. The detailed instructions will be provided to the accepted authors accordingly. For further questions on paper submissions, please contact the Publications Chair.
Accepted papers must be presented at the conference by one of the authors. The author of an accepted paper is required to complete paid registration at full rate for the conference prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. There is no refund for cancellation but substitutions may be made at any time prior to the event. Failure to complete paid speaker registration before the deadline will result in withdrawal of the paper from the conference program and the proceedings. Any paper not presented at the conference will be excluded from the conference proceedings.
Venue
The conference will be held in San Carlos, Alajuela, Costa Rica.
Address: 18 kilometers north of Ciudad Quesada. Road to La Fortuna, Santa Clara.
