Preface
This volume documents the proceedings of the First International Conference on Bio-
logically Inspired Cognitive Architectures (BICA 2010), which is also the First Annual
Meeting of the BICA Society. This conference was preceded by 2008 and 2009 AAAI
Fall Symposia on BICA that were similar in content (indeed, the special issue of the
International Journal of Machine Consciousness1 is composed of a selection of papers
and abstracts from all three events, and it is an official complement of this Proceedings
volume). The 2008–2009 BICA symposia in turn were preceded by a sequence of the
DARPA BICA meetings in 2005–2006 (see below). However, BICA 2010 is the first
independent event in the BICA series: it has the status of the first annual meeting of the
just established BICA society (further information is available at http://bicasociety.org).
Like the 2008 and 2009 BICA Symposia, the present BICA 2010 conference con-
tains a wide variety of ideas and approaches, all centered around the theme of under-
standing how to create general-purpose humanlike artificial intelligence using inspira-
tions from studies of the brain and the mind. BICA is no modest pursuit: the long-term
goals are no less than understanding how human and animal brains work, and creating
artificial intelligences with comparable or greater functionality. But, in addition to
these long-term goals, BICA research is also yielding interesting and practical research
results right now.
A cognitive architecture, broadly speaking, is a computational framework for the
design of intelligent and even conscious agents. Cognitive architectures may draw their
inspiration from many sources, including pure mathematics or physics or abstract theo-
ries of cognition. A biologically inspired cognitive architecture (BICA), in particular, is
one that incorporates formal mechanisms from computational models of human and
animal cognition, drawn from cognitive science or neuroscience. The appeal of the
BICA approach should be obvious: currently human and animal brains provide the only

cognitive tasks that today only humans can perform, tasks that are important for practi-
cal applications in the human society and require interaction with humans. Finally,
there are BICA projects aimed broadly at creating generally intelligent software sys-
tems, without focus on any one application area, but also without a goal of closely
simulating human behavior. All four of these goals are represented in the various pa-
pers contained in this volume.
The term BICA was coined in 2005 by Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA), when it was used as the name of a DARPA program administered
by the Information Processing Technology Office (IPTO). The DARPA BICA program
was terminated in 2006 (more details are available at the DARPA BICA web page at
http://www.darpa.mil/ipto/programs/bica/bica.asp). Our usage of the term “BICA” is
similar to its usage in the DARPA program; however, the specific ideas and theoretical
paradigms presented in the papers here include many directions not encompassed by
DARPA’s vision at that time. Moreover, there is no connection between DARPA and
the BICA Society.
One of the more notable aspects of the BICA approach is its cross-disciplinary na-
ture. The human mind and brain are not architected based on the disciplinary bounda-
ries of modern science, and to understand them almost surely requires rich integration
of ideas from multiple fields including computer science, biology, psychology and
mathematics. The papers in this volume reflect this cross-disciplinarity in many ways.
Another notable aspect of BICA is its integrative nature. A well-thought BICA has
a certain holistic integrity to it, but also generally contains multiple subsystems, which
may in some cases be incorporated into different BICAs, or used in different ways than
the subsystem’s creator envisioned. Thus, the reader who is developing their own ap-
proach to cognitive architectures may find many insights in the papers contained here
useful for inspiring their own work or even importing into their own architecture, di-
rectly or in modified form.
Finally we would like to call attention to the relationship between cognition, em-
bodiment and development. In our view, to create a BICA with human-level general
intelligence, it may not be necessary to engineer all the relevant subsystems in their
mature and complete form. Rather, it may be sufficient to understand the mechanisms
of cognitive growth in a relatively simple form, and then let the mature forms arise via

an adaptive developmental process. In this approach, one key goal of BICA research
becomes understanding what the key cognitive subsystems are, how do they develop,
and how they become adaptively integrated in a physical or virtual situated agent able
to perform tight interactions within its own body, the other entities and the surrounding
environment. With this sort of understanding in hand, it might well be possible to cre-
ate a BICA with human-level general learning capability, and teach it like a child. Po-
tentially, a population of such learners could ignite a cognitive chain reaction of learn-
ing from each other and from common resources, such as human instructors or the
Internet.
Currently BICA research is still at an early stage, and the practical capabilities of
BICA systems are relatively undeveloped. Furthermore, the relationships between the
ideas of various researchers in the field are not always clear; and there is considerable
knowledge in relevant disciplines that is not yet fully incorporated into our concrete
BICA designs. But BICA research is also rapidly developing, with each year bringing
significant new insights, moving us closer to our ambitious goals. In this sense, the
newborn BICA society, according to the intentions of the Founding Members, will be a
main vehicle for the growth and dissemination of breakthrough research in the field of

BICA systems. The papers presented in this volume form part of this ongoing process,
as will the papers in the ongoing BICA conferences to follow.
