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 behaviour have proposed several models
to explain interesting aspects of collective behaviours, 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) which is focused
on discrete optimization problems and particle swarm optimization (PSO)
which is specialised 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, present their latest research, and
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
-
behavioural 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 website.
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 centre of
Konstanz and the lake of Constance.
