Конференции BIC-TA - это серия ежегодных международных конференций - место сбора исследователей всего мира, занимающихся междисциплинарными исследованиями в области когнитивных архитектур и систем, подсказанных живой природой.
Периодичность: раз в год. Проводятся с 2006 года в различных городах Азии и Австралии.
Официальный сайт: смотри ниже сайты каждой конференции.

Конференции способствуют теоретическим и прикладным исследованиям в области междисциплинарных исследований когнитивных архитектур, подсказанных живой природой, используемых в системах искусственного интеллекта, а также обмену идеями между исследователями и практическими работниками.
В ходе конференций проходят пленарные и секционные доклады, сообщения со стендовыми докладами.

Computing with membranes (P systems) is a branch of Molecular Computing initiated by Gh. Paun by the paper Computing with membranes, Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 61, 1 (2000), 108-143 (first circulated ad TUCS Research Report No 208, November 1998, http://www.tucs.fi).

"In February 2003, the Institute for Scientific Information, ISI, has mentioned this paper as fast breaking in the area of computer science (see http://esi-topics.com, February 2003).
