The Fourth International Conference on Bio-Inspired Computing: Theories and Applications (BIC-TA 2009) aims to provide a high-level international forum for researchers working in the main areas of natural computing inspired by biology to present their recent results and to exchange ideas. Since 2006 the BIC-TA is one of the flagship conferences of bio-computing. It brings together the world's leading scientists from different branches of molecular computing. Recent advances in the field of bio-computing will be presented, thereby facilitating scientific idea exchange, the identification of future trends in this exciting field.

In the last three conferences (BIC-TA2006,BIC-TA2007,BIC-TA2008), all accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Xplore.  Some of these papers were published in several journals indexed by SCI, such as Dynamics of Continuous, Discrete and Impulsive Systems, Progress in Natural Science, Journal of Computational and Theoretical Nanoscience, Computer and Mathematics with Applications, and Neurocomputing.  

The conference invites researchers to contribute high-quality original research papers in any aspect of bio-inspired computing. The main topics for the conference include, but are not limited to, the following:

   · Evolutionary computing
   · Neural computing
   · DNA computing
   · Membrane computing
The conference will feature plenary lectures given by invited speakers.

The conference will be held in Peking University ,Beijing, the capital of  P.R. China, one of the largest cities of the world.
