The International Conference on the Simulation of Adaptive Behavior (SAB), established in 1990, has become a cornerstone event for researchers interested in the modeling, analysis, and synthesis of adaptive behavior in both natural and artificial systems. Held biennially, SAB brings together scientists from a wide range of disciplines—neuroscience, robotics, artificial intelligence, biology, psychology, and more—to explore how intelligent behavior arises through interactions between agents and their environments. Each edition of the conference is hosted by a different institution around the world, fostering a truly international community. Below is a chronological list of all SAB conference editions, from the upcoming 2024 event back to its inaugural meeting in 1990, including their locations, dates, and host institutions.
