Abstract

This paper serves as a short introduction for the special PerMIS session on Biological Inspiration (BI) for Intelligent Systems. The paper is organized into 4 parts. Part 1 provides a brief introduction to the idea and history of bio-inspiration for computation. Part 2 discusses the increased relevance of bio-understanding and presents a few examples of increased bio-understanding in cognitive areas. Part 3 provides examples of alternate focuses and levels of bio-reality that BI can take. Finally Part 4 notes some potential challenges in BI for intelligent systems.
