Preface

BICS 2012—the 5th International Conference on Brain-Inspired Cognitive Systems—was held in Shenyang, China, as a sequel of BICS 2004 (Stirling, Scotland, UK), BICS 2006 (Lesvos, Greece), BICS 2008 (Sao Luis, Brazil), and BICS 2010 (Madrid, Spain). BICS has now become a well-established conference series on brain-inspired cognitive systems around the world, with growing popularity and increasing quality. As the biggest city in northeastern China, Shenyang is now an important political, industrial, and cultural center, and serves as the transportation and commercial hub of northeastern China.
