Bio-inspired Information and Communication Technologies: 11th EAI International Conference, BICT 2019, Pittsburgh, PA, USA, March 13–14, 2019, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Bio-Inspired Information and Communications Technologies, held in Pittsburgh, PA, USA, in March 2019. The 13 revised full papers and 2 short papers were selected from 29 submissions. Past iterations of the conference have attracted contributions in Direct Bioinspiration (physical biological materials and systems used within technology) as well as Indirect Bioinspiration (biological principles, processes and mechanisms used within the design and application of technology). This year, the scope has expanded to include a third thrust: Foundational Bioinspiration (bioinspired aspects of game theory, evolution, information theory, and philosophy of science).
