International Conference on Bio-Science and Bio-Technology (ICBSBT 2019)

The International Conference on Bio-Science and Bio-Technology (ICBSBT 2019) is dedicated to recent progress in the area of Bio-Science and Bio-Technology.

Topics

• Mathematics meeting Anatomy
• Hardware meeting Biology
• Computing the Living System
• Computing Evolution and Origin of Disease
• Biologically Inspired Computation
• Modelling the Cell
• Study of Intelligence
• Computing Learning or Behaviour
• Definition of Intelligence: requirement to manipulate the environment; creativity; common sense.
• Architecture of Brain and Mind
• Molecular Biology Drug Discovery and Evolution
• Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Systems
• The C value enigma: new algorithms or tactics that may discover putative function of DNA and of our cellular molecular machinery.
• Linguistics and Genetics: parallels between languages and chemistry and what discoveries can these reveal.
• Complexity threshold in Genomics: measures to discover what is the complexity beyond which it becomes reasonable to apply Occam`s Razor.
• Can cybernetic principles and Shannon laws help Molecular Biology?
• Modelling approaches: empirical science; reductionism and objections to reductionism; complex systems theory and emergence; taxonomic analysis; role of analogy in discoveries; chance discovery.
• Macro and Micro Evolution: what impact has "species as the individual".
• Revealing experimental techniques.
• Cladistics : can we define mathematical existence and uniqueness; can we set any bounds on past and future evolution.
• Beyond biostatistics. Can we reverse engineer and refine recognition algorithms from vast amounts of data using AI and "white-box" analysis?
• Challenges in Biometrics:
• Interaction; Communication and Databases:
• Presentational issues and social guarantees.
• Socio-technical: design and usability challenges in the interaction between humans and their personal computational systems.
• Context Databases: capturing context; feelings; hidden or intended meaning in databases.
• Medical records and knowledge accumulation: where to place and how to ensure their integrity.
• Bio Interaction: Interaction Technology between Bio Systems and Machines.
• 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?
• Research on Learning, and Predicting Social Behaviour or Culture
• Psychology of human and machine
• "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?
• 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.
• Instincts, goal setting, emotions and machine intelligence.
• Forgotten technologies: resurrecting useful techniques lost in time.
