The publications within “Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing” are
primarily proceedings of important conferences, symposia and congresses. They
cover significant recent developments in the field, both of a foundational and
applicable character. An important characteristic feature of the series is the short
publication time and world-wide distribution. This permits a rapid and broad
dissemination of research results.

Preface
This volume documents the proceedings of the 2019 Annual International
Conference on Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures (BICA), also known
as the Tenth Annual Meeting of the BICA Society. BICA 2019 was held at the
Microsoft Main Campus in Seattle, Washington, USA, on August 15–18. In
addition to BICA Society, the conference was sponsored by AGI Laboratory,
Microsoft,andBostonConsultingGroup.Bythetimewhenthisvolumewassentto
production,wehad141submissions,ofwhich79wereincludedhereafteracareful
peer review.
BICA are computational frameworks for building intelligent agents that are
inspired from biological intelligence. Since 2010, the annual BICA conference
attracts researchers from the edge of scientific frontiers around the world. It con-
trasts major conferences in artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive science and
neuroscience by offering informal brainstorming atmosphere and freedom in con-
junction with greater publication venues to ambitious ideas.
Researchers understand “biological inspirations” broadly, borrowing them from
psychology,neuroscience,linguistics,narratology,design,andcreativitystudiesin
ordertoadvancecognitiveroboticsandmachinelearning,amongotherhottopicsin
AI. The “filter” is the question of whether your contribution may help us make
machines our friends or understand how the mind works. With our steady growth
over 10 years and unmatched sociocultural programs, we anticipated the new
unseen success of BICA in Seattle in 2019.
All BICA conferences and schools, including BICA 2019, are organized and
sponsored by BICA Society. In this year, the society celebrates its 10-year
anniversary and therefore deserves special attention here. BICA Society

architectures, and in the long-term perspective, creating one unifying widespread
framework for the human-level cognitive architectures and their implementations.
Withthisscientificagendainmind,over10yearsofitsexistence,BICASociety
organized or co-organized 10 international conferences (the BICA conferences),
2 schools, and 2 symposia. These events were hosted in various countries around
the world, including the USA, Italy, France, Ukraine, Russia, and the Czech
Republic. In organizing these events, BICA Society collaborated with several
universities around the world.
BICA Society created and is maintaining an online database on cognitive
architectures (http://bicasociety.org/mapped/), which includes as a component one
of the world’s largest databases of freely accessible video records of scientific
presentationsaboutcognitivearchitecturesandrelatedtopics(over500titles:http://
vimeo.com/bicasociety).
In addition, BICA Society initiated the creation of several mainstream periodic
publicationvenues,includingtheElsevierjournals“BiologicallyInspiredCognitive
Architectures” and “Cognitive Systems Research (CSR)—Special Issue Series on
BICA*AI”.Plus,BICASocietyregularlypublishesitsproceedingsinothereditions
dedicated to BICA, including BICA volumes in the Elsevier journal “Procedia
Computer Science” and, of course, the Springer book series “Advances in
Intelligent Systems and Computing.”
Itshouldbementionedthatinthisyear,theBICAconferenceandtheassociated
with its CSR journal track are changing the name from BICA to BICA*AI:
Brain-Inspired Cognitive Architectures for Artificial Intelligence. The following
topicsatthefrontedgeofscienceandtechnology,asbefore,areinthefocusofthis
and future BICA*AI conferences, books, and journals:
– Artificial social–emotional intelligence;
– Active humanlike learning and cognitive growth;
– Narrative intelligence and context understanding;
– Artificial creativity and creation of art by AI;
– Goal reasoning and true autonomy in artifacts;
– Embodied intelligence and cognitive robotics;
– Synthetic characters, HCI, and VR/MR paradigms for AI;
– Language capabilities and social competence;
– Robust and scalable machine learning mechanisms;
– The role of emotions in artificial intelligence and their BICA models;
– Tests and metrics for BICA in the context of the BICA Challenge;
– Interaction between natural and artificial cognitive systems;
– Theory-of-Mind, episodic, and autobiographical memory in vivo and in vitro;
– Introspection, metacognitive reasoning, and self-awareness in BICA;
– AI and ethics, digital economics, and cybersecurity;
– Unifying frameworks, standards, and constraints for cognitive architectures.
