The 13th World Congress on Nature and Biologically Inspired Computing (NaBIC 2021) brings together international researchers, developers, practitioners, and users. The aim of NaBIC is to serve as a forum to present current and future work as well as to exchange research ideas in this field. NaBIC 2021 invites authors to submit their original and unpublished work that demonstrates current research in all areas of Nature and Biologically Inspired Computing, as well as proposals for workshops, industrial presentations, demonstrations, and tutorials.

The papers should be organized so as to accommodate abstract, introduction, state-of-the-art, objective, used methodology, obtained results and references.

Submitted papers should be original and contain contributions of theoretical, experimental or application nature, or be unique experience reports.

Proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems", which is currently indexed by SCOPUS, INSPEC, WTI Frankfurt eG, zbMATH, SCImago and are submitted for consideration in Web of Science.
