The 25th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS 2026): Last Call for Blue Sky Ideas
by Announce 25 Nov '25

25 Nov '25

*** Last Call for Blue Sky Ideas *** The 25th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS 2026) May 25-29, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29ycG9yYQkJCWNvcnBv…> AAMAS 2026 received 1455 full paper submissions for the Main Track, after an initial submission of 1800 abstracts. This is by far the highest number of submissions (around 50% more than the previous highest number) in the 25 years of AAMAS. The Blue Sky Ideas Special Track is intended to present and provoke visionary ideas, long- term challenges, new research opportunities, and debate. It serves as an incubator for innovative, risky, and provocative research directions, and aims to provide a forum for publishing and presenting these without being constrained by the result-oriented standards followed in the review process of the main track of the conference. Research visions and ideas can cross disciplines, envisioning new directions relevant for Agents and advancing Multi-Agent Systems research through interdisciplinary viewpoints. We encourage papers to reflect on the future of the research area and its community within the broader AI and computing landscape. We invite submissions that focus on novel, overlooked, or under-represented application areas to which agent research may contribute; potential paths for agent research to contribute to the state of the art in other AI and computing areas and the other way around; unexplored theoretical grounds for agent research. Overall, we aim at papers that help guide the agent community to achieve in the coming years a leading position within AI and computing research. Evaluation Criteria Reviewers will assess papers based on the following criteria: Relevance and Advancement (level of future-thinking) • Are the ideas presented of interest to members of the Agents and MAS research communities? • Do the ideas push forward the envelope of Agents/MAS application into the future? Novelty and Vision (level of “Blue Sky”-ness) • How much the ideas are visionary (vs. next step w.r.t. state of the art), novel, or out of the box. Background and Foundation (level of grounded-ness) • Are the ideas motivated and grounded in a solid understanding of the existing state-of- the-art and older foundational research/theory? • Do the ideas consider relatively new research ideas (e.g. published in the last 3 years)? Impact and Practicality (level of real-world applicability) • How deep and wide is the envisioned impact of the ideas on the research agenda in the Agents and MAS communities? • How deep and wide is the envisioned impact on the intended beneficiaries of the ideas presented, including practical considerations? Rigour and Clarity (level of strength of contribution) • Are the ideas presented in a clear and rigorous way? • How strong is the level of critical reflection applied in the exploration of these ideas? Submission Submissions are limited to 4 pages in length in the AAMAS 2026 format, with any additional pages containing only bibliographic references. The formatting instructions are the same as for the AAMAS 2026 main track. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings and will be presented orally at the conference. The Blue Sky Ideas Special Track follows the same policies as the main track. Submissions must be original, reviewing is double-blind, and at least one author of each accepted paper will be required to register for the conference by the early registration deadline with the intention of presenting the paper at the conference. See the Call for Papers (Main Technical Track) and Submission Instructions for details (information on the conference website). Important Dates • Abstract Submission: December 3, 2025 • Paper Submission: December 8, 2025 • Rebuttal Period: January 10-15, 2026 • Author Notification: January 31, 2026 • Camera-Ready Submission: February 19, 2026 • Author Registration: March 31, 2026 All deadlines are at the end of the specified day, Anywhere on Earth (UTC-12).

CfP Special Issue - Information - Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies for the analysis of online social behavior
by Thomas Mandl 22 Nov '25

22 Nov '25

Special Issue on Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies for the analysis of online social behavior. https://www.mdpi.com/journal/information/special_issues/MCA1E7LC2J Natural language processing has seen tremendous progress in recent years and many technologies can be applied and adopted to social media discourse. This Special Issue will collect contributions from diverse domains that leverage NLP technologies for relevant questions regarding human behavior. Potential topics that could be explored in this Special Issue include the following: 1. How can NLP be used to analyze social media posts and comments related to social issues like climate change? What insights can be gained into public opinion and sentiment on these topics? 2. How can NLP be used to analyze social media data related to everyday life, such as conversations about food, travel, or hobbies? What can be learned about human behavior and preferences through this type of analysis? 3. How can NLP be used to analyze social media data related to political attitudes and behaviors? What insights can be gained into how people engage with politics online? 4. How can NLP be used to analyze social media data related to discourse behavior, such as online debates, discussions, and arguments? What can be learned about how people engage with each other online and how this relates to offline interactions? 5. How can NLP be used to analyze social media data related to negative impacts, such as hate speech, cyberbullying, online harassment, or the spread of misinformation? What insights can be gained into the causes and consequences of these phenomena? These are just a few examples of the many potential topics that could be explored in this Special Issue. I am sure there are many more exciting areas of research that could be explored through the application of NLP technologies to social media discourse. What are some of the specific research questions or topics that you'd like to see explored in this Special Issue? Some discounts for the APC are available Prof. Dr. Thomas Mandl /Guest Editor/ https://www.mdpi.com/journal/information/special_issues/MCA1E7LC2J
