title = "Simulating the Mechanics of Ant Swarm Aggregations",
abstract = "Ants exhibit unique abilities to self-assemble into animate, living structures. Such structures display properties of both fluid and solid-like, deformable materials. Despite much progress in our understanding of ant aggregation dynamics, simulating such phenomena has been largely overlooked in real-time graphics and animation applications. We present a constraints-based approach for simulating the collective dynamics of ants. We demonstrate ant collective behaviors interactively with compelling physical realism.",
