CFP summary
ANTS 2026, the 15th International Conference on Swarm Intelligence, is a well-established single-track conference in the interdisciplinary field of swarm intelligence. According to the official website, the ANTS series began in 1998 and serves as a selective forum for researchers working on collective behavior in natural and artificial systems. The conference addresses both foundational and applied questions related to distributed intelligence, self-organization and collective decision-making. The 2026 edition will be hosted in Darmstadt, Germany, by the Technical University of Darmstadt, continuing the conference’s tradition of bringing together computer scientists, roboticists, biologists, physicists and other researchers interested in swarm-based systems.
