IC2SMA2 2026 aims to create a new international venue that can unite scholars, practitioners and students from diverse fields to address various real-world challenges and opportunities using methodologies of complex systems modeling and analysis. The conference will showcase cutting-edge modeling/analysis methods, interdisciplinary applications, and innovative solutions, fostering collaboration and sparking new ideas. Its 2026 edition will have a particular focus on the applications to education and society. By integrating insights from systems science, mathematics, computer science, engineering, economics, social sciences, psychology, healthcare, education, and many others, we seek to advance understanding and application in these crucial areas. Join us to explore how multidisciplinary approaches can drive improvements in our society!
Organized in Hybrid Mode by CHRIST University, Pune Lavasa, India & Binghamton University, State University of New York, USA

Since its inception in 1998, ANTS has been a highly selective, single-track meeting that provided a forum for discussing advances in the field of swarm intelligence. It solicits submissions presenting significant, original research from researchers and practitioners of any area related to swarm intelligence.

Swarm intelligence is an interdisciplinary and rapidly evolving field, rooted in the study of self-organizing processes in both natural and artificial systems. Researchers from disciplines ranging from ethology to statistical physics have developed models that explain collective phenomena, such as decision-making in social insect colonies and collective movements in human crowds. Swarm-inspired algorithms and methods have proven effective in solving complex optimization problems and creating multi-robot and networked systems of unparalleled resilience, adaptability and scalability. Applications of swarm intelligence continue to grow and become increasingly critical for addressing societal challenges such as environmental sustainability, food security, health, and global conflicts.

The 2026 edition’s theme is “reaching beyond – swarm intelligence across systems, disciplines, and communities”. The meeting seeks to encourage new perspectives, help bridge traditional boundaries and enable open debate on what could be ambitious, exploratory, and groundbreaking endeavors to embark on.

ACM Collective Intelligence 2025 brings together a wide range of disciplines to discuss the shared or group intelligence that emerges when individuals work together, often with the help of technology. This year’s theme focuses on Diverse Intelligence. We invite research and perspectives on how we can deeply understand and build systems that incorporate animal, human, machine and hybrid intelligence to achieve a level of problem-solving capability that surpasses the abilities of any single member.
Rarely do researchers have this opportunity to interact with such a broad range of disciplines—cognitive science, philosophy, ecology, biology, computer science, anthropology, organizational science, network science, sociology, economics, business, and many others. Join us to advance our collective understanding of how to harness our collective abilities.
