The 2012 International Conference on Brain Inspired Cognitive Systems (BICS 2012) will be held in Shenyang, China, as a sequel of BICS 2004 - 2010. Shenyang is the capital city of Liaoning Province with a long history and rich heritages. Shenyang was first used by the Manchu people as their capital in the 17th century and is today the biggest city in Northeastern China.
