Members of the Zoological Society of Japan

I am Yusuke Notomi from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Tokyo.
Here is an announcement for the international conference SWARM 2024 (Kyoto, September) and the session we are organizing.

SWARM is an academic society mainly focusing on biology, bio-inspired informatics, and robotics. Although its name suggests that "swarms" are its primary subject, its interests range broadly from individuals to groups*.
*SWARM 2019 Program: https://easychair.org/smart-program/SWARM2019/

Very prestigious speakers have also been invited for the Plenary Speakers.

Furthermore, in the organized session (OS) that we are hosting, we aim to achieve a comprehensive understanding of behavioral systems through discussions from diverse perspectives by a total of 12 speakers, themed around "Systems Ethology," a new framework aimed at understanding animal behavior as a system.

We also have slots available for general presentations (oral or poster), and we would greatly appreciate it if you would consider submitting one as well.
Here is the overview of the tournament and sessions.
