Swarmfest 2016, hosted in Burlington, Vermont on July 31- August 2, was a low-key environment for researchers to explore new ideas and approaches, and benefit from a multi-disciplinary approach to complex problems. This year was an outstanding success with research presented from a wide range of disciplines utilizing agent-based modeling to further understand ecological systems, land-use and hydrology of the Lake Champlain Basin, affordable health care networks, global financial systems, and human immune responses, to name a few.
