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: https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/call-for-papers-main-track/ .
Workshop Outreach Pipeline
AAMAS 2026 will include a pilot designed to encourage submission of high-quality papers from related workshops at sister AI conferences. All submissions will go through the standard AAMAS review process, but PCs from participating workshops will be able to easily bid on papers from "their" workshop. As with all AAMAS submissions, only papers that have not been published in any archival proceedings can be submitted.
You can see the full list of workshops in the interest form for authors: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1UjJbNykWK_fsKWbEHDyMEA02cGheIyPeWxCPcUskwkA... [docs.google.com] It is recommended to verify with your workshop chair that they are aware of the pipeline and have promoted it to the workshop's authors and PC.
Other Tracks
In addition to the main track, AAMAS 2026 will feature four special tracks (AAAI Track, JAAMAS Track, Blue Sky Ideas Track, Demo Track), as well as a 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). Submission DL: November 17, 2025 https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/call-for-papers-aaai-track/
The focus of the Blue Sky Ideas Track is on visionary ideas, long-term challenges, new research opportunities, and controversial debate. Submission DL (abstract): December 03, 2025 https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/call-for-blue-sky-ideas/
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. Submission DL: January 06, 2026 https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/call-for-papers-jaamas-track/
The Demo Track allows participants from both academia and industry to showcase their latest developments in agent-based and robotic systems. Submission DL: January 09, 2026 https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/call-for-demonstrations/
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. Submission DL (abstract): January 19, 2026 https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/call-for-doctoral-consortium-papers/
