Swarm Workshop: Programming tools for decentralised intelligence and swarms

TaRDIS is pleased to announce the upcoming Swarm Workshop: Programming Tools for Decentralised Intelligence and Swarms, to be held 26‑27 November 2025 in Brussels, Belgium (Bedford Hotel).

This two‑day open event brings together the latest European research and innovation initiatives in swarm computing, together with practitioners, industry stakeholders, policymakers, and innovators working across AI, IoT, edge/cloud, security, and decentralized systems.

What the Workshop Offers

Insightful sessions on emerging abstractions, architectures, and technologies that enable swarm‑based systems to operate at the edge: adaptation, resilience, scalability, and low‑latency operation.
Use‑cases and sectoral perspectives in industrial, mobility, health, energy and security domains.
Demonstrations and showcases of tools, success stories (scientific, impact, exploitation), and industrial best practices.
Discussions on related topics including standardization, open source, trust, cybersecurity, and privacy in highly distributed, swarm‑based and edge‑aware systems.

Who Should Attend

The workshop is aimed at researchers, engineers, policy makers, and anyone involved in or interested by:

Swarm intelligence, distributed AI/ML, and neuromorphic computing
Edge computing, Internet of Things (IoT), CPS (Cyber-Physical Systems)
Decentralization, trustworthy systems, cloud‑edge continuum, data sovereignty, open source and standards work

Attendance is free, but subject to availability, so early registration is encouraged.

About TaRDIS’ Involvement

Through TaRDIS, we are contributing to programme design and content, particularly in defining how decentralised swarm systems can be engineered for robustness, scalability, trust, and real‑world deployment. We look forward to sharing our work alongside partner projects OASEES, P2CODE, SmartEdge, and OpenSwarm — all part of the EU’s Horizon Europe cluster under call HORIZON‑CL4‑2022‑DATA‑01‑03.
