Abstract
The International Work Conference on Bioinspired Intelligence (IWOBI) is an annual event that comprises both an international peer-reviewed scientific conference and a set of workshops and other activities in order to foster the research abilities and expertise of young researchers in the field of bioinspired intelligence. IWOBI 2018 has been characterized by a strong transdisciplinary component. The main conference themes were at the intersection between classical engineering disciplines and computer science, and the life and health sciences. This was motivated by the scientific environment that defines research that is being conducted in Costa Rica. Even though IWOBI is an international event, it was very important for the local organizing committee to focus on knowledge areas that were considered of special interest to Costa Rican researchers and to students looking to start their scientific careers. With such great expectations, IWOBI 2018 has been the first IWOBI conference in history to have parallel tracks. In addition to a regular track, a biocomputation and related techniques track was developed, as well as another one devoted to high-performance computing (HPC) systems applications for life and health sciences applications. Workshops were another important resource developed within IWOBI 2018. They were considered a very important tool in order to foster and train young researchers within the country and they are a very valuable chance to establish direct networking with elite researchers from different countries and research interests. IWOBI 2018 was the first IWOBI conference that implemented real and effective workshops. There were two workshops, one of them devoted to COPASI software and the other one focused on the use of the message passing interface (MPI) parallel programming library.
Highlights
The International Work Conference on Bioinspired Intelligence (IWOBI) is an international conference that was initially conceived as a framework for Spanish, Colombian, and Costa Rican research groups to communicate their results and to look for networking and coworking opportunities
IWOBI 2014 was the first edition that obtained the support from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and a larger number of contributions than former editions
The first initiative was to develop a special session on bioinspired processing (BIP) within the 2016 Central America and Panama IEEE International
Summary
The International Work Conference on Bioinspired Intelligence (IWOBI) is an international conference that was initially conceived as a framework for Spanish, Colombian, and Costa Rican research groups to communicate their results and to look for networking and coworking opportunities. This event was considered highly successful and it was the beginning of a new international IEEE-supported conference when an application by the IWOBI steering committee was received in order to organize another edition of IWOBI 2018. This edition of the conference had the widest local organization team for a scientific conference in Costa Rica, as representatives from all public universities were participating in addition to the Costa Rica National. A brief summary of some of the most relevant contributions is presented
