Connectionists: CfP ANTS 2024 - 14th International Conference on Swarm Intelligence

[Leslie Angelica Perez Caceres]

Call for Papers: 14th International Conference on Swarm Intelligence

ANTS 2024
14th International Conference on Swarm Intelligence
October 9-11, 2024. Konstanz, Germany
Up-to-date information at https://www.uni-konstanz.de/ants-2024/


Scope of the Conference

Swarm intelligence is the discipline that deals with the study of
self-organizing processes both in nature and in artificial systems.
Researchers in ethology and animal behavior have proposed a number of
models to explain interesting aspects of collective behaviors, such as
movement coordination, shape formation, and decision making. Algorithms and
methods inspired by these models have been proposed to solve difficult
problems in many domains. We highlight ant colony optimization (ACO)
focusing on discrete optimization problems and particle swarm optimization
(PSO) that is specialized for continuous optimization problems. The
application of swarm intelligence to robotics is swarm robotics with focus
on designing collaborative multi-robot systems that show high degrees of
robustness and scalability. With ANTS 2024 we want to give researchers in
swarm intelligence the opportunity to meet, to present their latest
research, and to discuss current developments and applications. The
three-day conference will be held for the first time in Konstanz, Germany,
on October 9-11, 2024.

Relevant Research Areas

ANTS 2024 welcomes contributions dealing with any aspect of swarm
intelligence. Topics of interest include:
theoretical and empirical research in swarm intelligence
application of swarm intelligence methods (e.g., ant colony optimization,
particle swarm optimization) to real-world problems
theoretical and experimental research in swarm robotics systems
behavioral models of social insects or other animal societies that can
stimulate new algorithmic approaches

Publication Details

Conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series, as
those of the last editions of the ANTS Conference. The journal Swarm
Intelligence will publish a special issue dedicated to ANTS 2024 that will
contain extended versions of the best research works presented at the
conference. Further details will soon be published on the web site.

Conference Location

The conference will be hosted by the University of Konstanz in
collaboration with the Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective
Behaviour. The venue is beautifully located close to the city center of
Konstanz and the lake of Constance.
