  • Artificial chemistry, immune systems, gene regulatory networks, and life
  • Bio-inspired multi-agent systems
  • Bio-inspired evolutionary computing
  • Biological computing and communication
  • Brain-computer and human-computer interface
  • DNA computing and storage
  • Internet of bio-nano-things
  • Molecular computing and communication
  • AI and big data for biomedicine
  • Body sensor networks for healthcare
  • Communication and computational modeling of epidemics
  • Computational nanobiosensing
  • Future-generation communication systems for medical applications
  • Nanomedicine inspired by molecular computing and communication
  • Pervasive healthcare
  • Privacy and security in healthcare
  • Publication

    All registered papers will be submitted for publishing by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library: BICT Conference Proceedings.

    BICT proceedings are indexed in leading indexing services, such as Web of Science, Compendex, Scopus, DBLP, EU Digital Library, Google Scholar, IO-Port, MathSciNet, Inspec, and Zentralblatt MATH.

    Additional publication opportunities:

    By paying an additional $150, authors can publish their articles in the EAI Endorsed Transactions journal selected by the conference (Scopus and Ei-indexed). The article’s publication is subject to the following requirements:

    1. It must be an extended version of the conference paper with a different title and abstract. In general, 30% of new content must be added.
    2. The article will be processed once the conference proceedings have been published.
    3. The article will be processed using the fast-track option.
    4. Once the conference proceedings are published, the corresponding author should contact us at [email protected] with the details of their article to begin processing.

    Paper Submission

    Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section below).

    – Regular papers should be up to 12-15+ pages in length. – Springer
    – Short papers should be 6-11 pages in length.

    All conference papers undergo a thorough peer review process prior to the final decision and publication. This process is facilitated by experts in the Technical Program Committee during a dedicated conference period. Standard peer review is enhanced by EAI Community Review which allows EAI members to bid to review specific papers. All review assignments are ultimately decided by the responsible Technical Program Committee Members while the Technical Program Committee Chair is responsible for the final acceptance selection. You can learn more about Community Review here.
