ANTS 2018 - Eleventh International Conference on Swarm Intelligence

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 or decision making. Recently, algorithms and methods inspired by these models have been proposed to solve difficult problems in many domains. ANTS 2018 will give researchers in swarm intelligence the opportunity to meet, to present their latest research, and to discuss current developments and applications.
Relevant Research Areas
ANTS 2018 solicits contributions dealing with any aspect of swarm intelligence. Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest are:
Behavioral models of social insects or other animal societies that can stimulate new algorithmic approaches.
Empirical and theoretical research in swarm intelligence.
Application of swarm intelligence methods, such as ant colony optimization or particle swarm optimization, to real-world problems.
Theoretical and experimental research in swarm robotics systems.
