Connectionists: From Animals to Animats: 17th International Conference on the Simulation of Adaptive Behavior (SAB 2024) - Conference Announcement and Call For Papers

[Jeffrey L Krichmar]

Happy New Year Connectionists!

On September 9-12, 2024, UC Irvine will be hosting this year’s From Animals to Animats: 17th International Conference on the Simulation of Adaptive Behavior (SAB 2024).

The Simulation of Adaptive Behavior (SAB) interdisciplinary conference brings together researchers in artificial intelligence, artificial life, computer science, cybernetics, ethology, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, robotics, and many other fields, to further our understanding of the behaviors and underlying mechanisms that allow natural animals and artificial agents to adapt and survive in complex, dynamic and uncertain environments. Animats denote the connection between animals and synthetic agents. The conference focuses on models and experiments designed to help characterize and compare various organizational principles and architectures underlying adaptive behavior in real animals and in animats.

SAB 2024 solicits contributions dealing with any aspect of adaptive behavior. We especially invite submissions from researchers who connect biology and natural behavior to synthetic agents. Conference papers are peer-reviewed and accepted papers will be published in “From Animals to Animats 17. SAB 2024.” Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, Springer Nature.

We have a great lineup of confirmed speakers:

Oliver Brock – Technische Universitat Berlin
Lola Canamero – CY Cergy Paris University
Kris Carlson – BrainChip
Jeff Clune – The University of British Columbia
Jens Krause – Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries
Maja Mataric – University of Southern California
Praveen Pilly – Intelligent Systems Laboratory at HRL Laboratories
Jun Tani – Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology
Janet Wiles – University of Queensland
