2025 Annual International Conference on Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures, the 16th Annual Meeting of the BICA Society (BICA 2025), Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, August 6 - 10
BICA Society will hold a conference (Virtual and Person-to-person) in collaboration with CUCOSTA center of the Guadalajara University located in Puerto Vallarta Mexico
Important Dates
For BICA, a multiple-round submission model is used, meaning that there is no one submission deadline for all authors. Instead, there is a sequence of submission rounds, each with its own set of important dates, including:
- Initial paper submission deadline,
- Decision notification date,
- Springer camera-ready or CSR journal submission date,
-Accepted author registration deadline.
Each new round is announced when the previous-round initial deadline expires. Announcement of a new round is not guaranteed: any round may become the last, without an advance notification. To learn about a new round, you will need to check this page for changes when the deadline expires. The current set of rounds and important dates for them is listed below.
- First Round:
- Initial paper submission deadline: April 17
- Notification date: May 5
- Springer camera-ready or CSR journal submission: May 30
- Accepted author registration deadline: June 2
- Second Round:
- Initial paper submission deadline: May 30
- Notification date: June 15
- Springer camera-ready or CSR journal submission: July 1
- Accepted author registration deadline: July 2
Authors are free to select any rounds for their submissions. The number of submissions per author is not limited; however, each paper must be covered by a separate registration. The Early-Bird Registration deadline is one and the same for all rounds and will be announced later.
