Happy New Year! We cordially invite you to attend the 2007 International
Conference on Bio-Inspired Computing: Theories and Applications (BIC-TA
2007), which will be held on September 14 -- 17, 2007 in Zhengzhou Henan
Province, China.

The conference is organized by the Peking University, the Zhengzhou
University of Light Industry as well as the Huazhong University of
Science & Technology, and technically co-sponsored by the Zhongyuan
University of Technology, the North China University of Water Conservancy
and Electric Power, and financially supported by the National Natural
Science Foundation of China.

Just like the name of the conference, the theme for this conference is
Bio-Inspired Computing: Theories and Applications. Only original high
quality papers related to this theme are especially solicited, including
theories, methodologies, and applications in science and technology.
Topics covering industrial issues/applications and academic research into
bio-inspired computing will be welcome.

All submissions will be thoroughly peer-reviewed by experts in the field
based on originality, significance and clarity, only papers presenting
novel research results or successful innovative applications are
seriously considered for publication.

A pre-proceedings volume will be available during the conference. The
expanded and revised version of all accepted papers at BIC-TA 2007 will
be published after the conference in international journals indexed by
SCI-Expanded.
