The Eighth International Conference on Bio-Science and Bio-Technology (BSBT 2025)

Topics

• Hardware Meeting Biology
• Computing Evolution and Origin of Disease
• Mathematics Meeting Anatomy
• Modelling the Cell
• Computing the Living System
• Computing Learning or Behaviour
• Biologically Inspired Computation
• Architecture of Brain and Mind
• Study of Intelligence
• Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Systems
• Definition of Intelligence: requirement to manipulate the environment; creativity; common sense.
• Linguistics and Genetics: parallels between languages and chemistry and what discoveries can these reveal.
• Molecular Biology Drug Discovery and Evolution
• Can cybernetic principles and Shannon laws help Molecular Biology?
• The C value enigma: new algorithms or tactics that may discover putative function of DNA and of our cellular molecular machinery.
• Macro and Micro Evolution: what impact has "species as the individual".
• Complexity threshold in Genomics: measures to discover what is the complexity beyond which it becomes reasonable to apply Occam`s Razor.
• Cladistics : can we define mathematical existence and uniqueness; can we set any bounds on past and future evolution.
• Modelling approaches: empirical science; reductionism and objections to reductionism; complex systems theory and emergence; taxonomic analysis; role of analogy in discoveries; chance discovery.
• Challenges in Biometrics
• Revealing experimental techniques
• Presentational issues and social guarantees.
• Beyond Biostatistics. Can we reverse engineer and refine recognition algorithms from vast amounts of data using AI and "white-box" analysis?
• Context Databases: capturing context; feelings; hidden or intended meaning in databases
• Interaction; Communication and Databases
• Bio Interaction: Interaction Technology between Bio Systems and Machines.
• Socio-technical: design and usability challenges in the interaction between humans and their personal computational systems.
• Research on Learning, and Predicting Social Behaviour or Culture
• Medical records and knowledge accumulation: where to place and how to ensure their integrity.
• "Composability" problem: in a quickly put together coalition each partner needs to guess the likely culture and behaviour of the other partner, what is the best strategy for doing this?
• How do we learn most effectively? Which situations are learned best by means of simple mental exercises; or by playing pac -man; and which require immersion in realistic virtual reality games?
• Instincts, goal setting, emotions and machine intelligence
• Psychology of human and machine
• Forgotten technologies: resurrecting useful techniques lost in time
• Plausible new devices to improve human life: e.g. fusion of wearable sensors and natural language processing for personal use in pattern matching during daily activities.
