presentation, as well as understanding and appropriate referencing of the state of the art.
The papers will be published under CC BY license.


Important Dates (for the main technical track)

• Abstract submission: October 1, 2025
• Paper submission: October 8, 2025
• Rebuttal period: November 21-25, 2025
• Author notification: December 22, 2025
• Camera-ready paper: February 11, 2026
• Conference: May 25-29, 2026

All deadlines are at the end of the specified day, anywhere on Earth (UTC-12).

Areas of Interest

We welcome the submission of technical papers describing significant and original
research on all aspects of the theory and practice of autonomous agents and multiagent
systems. If you are new to this community, then we encourage you to consult the
proceedings of previous editions of the conference to fully appreciate the scope of AAMAS.

At the time of submission, you will be asked to associate your paper with one of the
following areas of interest:

• Learning and Adaptation (LEARN)
• Generative and Agentic AI (GAAI)
• Game Theory and Economic Paradigms (GTEP)
• Coordination, Organizations, Institutions, Norms, and Ethics (COINE)
• Search, Optimization, Planning, and Scheduling (SOPS)
• Representation, and Reasoning (RR)
• Engineering and Analysis of Multiagent Systems (EMAS)
• Modeling and Simulation of Societies (SIM)
• Human-Agent Interaction (HAI)
• Robotics and Control (ROBOT)
• Innovative Applications (IA)

More information on these areas and the topics covered can be found here:

Special Tracks

In addition to the main track, AAMAS 2026 will feature five special tracks (AAAI Track,
JAAMAS Track, Blue Sky Ideas Track, Demo Track, and Competitions Track), as well as the
Doctoral Consortium.

The AAAI Track welcomes AAAI-25 submissions rejected from the main AAAI track that
are relevant to the AAMAS research community and received no reject review
recommendations (all review scores are weak reject or above).

The JAAMAS Track offers authors of papers recently published in the Journal of
Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (JAAMAS) that have not previously appeared
as full papers in an archival conference the opportunity to present their work at AAMAS
2026.

The focus of the Blue Sky Ideas Track is on visionary ideas, long-term challenges, new
research opportunities, and controversial debate.

The Demo Track allows participants from both academia and industry to showcase their
latest developments in agent-based and robotic systems.

The Competitions Track is an effective mechanism for motivating researchers to enhance
discussions, share knowledge, and boost the development and evaluation of theory and
practice of autonomous agents and multiagent systems.

Finally, AAMAS invites PhD students working in the research areas covered by AAMAS to
take part in the Doctoral Consortium (DC). The DC is an opportunity to interact closely
with established researchers in your field as well as other PhD students to receive feedback
on your work and to get advice on managing your career.

The calls for each track above and for the Doctoral Consortium, along with the respective
important dates, are available on the AAMAS 2026 web site.


Workshops and Tutorials

Furthermore, AAMAS 2026 invites proposals for workshops and tutorials. These will be
held on May 25-26, 2026, immediately before the main program of the AAMAS conference.

The objectives of the AAMAS 2026 workshop program are to stimulate and facilitate
discussion, interaction, and comparison of approaches, methods, and ideas related to
specific topics, both theoretical and applied, in the general area of Autonomous Agents
and Multiagent Systems. The AAMAS 2026 workshops will provide an informal setting
where participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics, fostering
the active exchange of ideas and supporting community development.

Tutorials will be half-day long and will be in person — online/remote versions will not be
accepted. A few full-day tutorials may be considered, but the proponents need to motivate
their request when submitting their proposal.

The calls for workshop and tutorial proposals, along with the respective important dates,
are available on the AAMAS 2026 web site.
