School on Collective Animal Behavior | (smr 3892) (13-24 November 2023)

Description

Collective behavior is a distinctive trait of human and animal societies.

This school aims at providing a thorough introduction to basic notions and advanced topics in this subject from the viewpoints of physics, biology, computer science and
robotics.
