Aims of the BICA Society include creating a world-widescientific infrastruc- turethatsupportsmultidisciplinaryresearchesinaddressingthechallengeofcreatinga computationalequivalentofthehumanmind(knownastheBICAChallenge).Thelist ofFoundingMembersoftheBICASocietyistoolongtobeincludedhere,andincludes manyeminentscholarsandscientists. As outlined in the manifesto of the BICA Society published in the Proceedingsof BICA 2010, we can reasonably predict that in the coming years robots and artifacts with general-purpose human-level intelligence will become available. It is therefore vital for scientists from different disciplines to join their efforts and share results in addressingthisimportantgoal,andtoanalyzethescientific andtechnologicalaspects ofthechallenge,includingethicalandmoralproblems.TheBICAChallengecallsfor anintegratedunderstandingofartificialandnaturalintelligentsystems,includingtheir biological functions, cognition and learning. The BICA paradigm is a new approach that integrates different disciplines, from neuroscience to cognitive science, artificial intelligenceandrobotics.Thisapproachwillallowus,ontheonehand,tobetterunder- standthecomplexoperationofthebraininordertosuggestnewhorizonsforresearch inneuroscienceandpsychology,andontheotherhand,touseinspirationsfromthese fieldsformodernroboticsandintelligentagentdesign. The BICA Challenge can be compared to greatest human challenges of the past (the Human Genome Program, the Apollo Moon Expedition, etc.). It is unlikely that a single laboratory, no matter how big and full of resources it may be, can succeed in this fantastic effort. This huge challenge can only be tackled by unified efforts of manylaboratories,scientists,institutions,andresearchfacilitiesaroundtheworldthat continuouslyexchangetheirideas,knowledgeandresults. VI Preface OneoftheaimsoftheBICASocietyistoprovideacommonreferenceframework for researchers and scholars from differentscientific communities, who may be talk- ing differentscientific languagesand pursuingdifferentresearch goals, yet implicitly or explicitly they contribute efforts to solving the BICA Challenge. The BICA Soci- etypromotessuchinterdisciplinarystudiesandallowsresearcherstofreelysharetheir ideas,toolsandresultsinpursuitoftheoverarchinggoal. All previousconferencesof the BICA Society were held in the United States. For thefirsttime,thisyear’sBICAconferenceisheldinEurope.TheBICASocietychose Palermoasthe Conferencesite, in recognitionof supportofthe BICA Societybythe RoboticsLabofthe UniversityofPalermo.TheConferenceisheldfromOctober31st toNovember3rdattheGrandHotelPiazzaBorsainthecenterofPalermo. Among participants of BICA 2012 are top-level scientists like Karlheinz Meier, HiroshiIshiguro,GiorgioAscoli,GiulioSandini,IgorAleksander,KristinnR.Thóris- son,RicardoSanz, PenttiHaikonen,Christian Lebiere,AlexeiSamsonovich,Michele Migliore,Soo-YoungLee,RaulArrabales,GeraintA.Wiggins,andmanyothers.
