CALL FOR PAPERS
LAMAS & SR 2026
International Workshop on Logical Aspects of Multi-Agent Systems and Strategic Reasoning
Co-located with KR 2026 (as part of FLoC 2026)
Lisbon, Portugal • July 19, 2026
Logic and strategic reasoning play a central role in multi-agent systems. Logic can be used, for instance, to express the agents' abilities, knowledge, and objectives. Strategic reasoning refers to algorithmic methods that allow for the development of good behavior for the agents of the system. At the intersection, we find logics that can express the existence of strategies or equilibria and can be used to reason about them. The LAMAS&SR workshop merges two international workshops: LAMAS (Logical Aspects of Multi-Agent Systems), which focuses on all kinds of logical aspects of multi-agent systems from the perspectives of artificial intelligence, computer science, and game theory, and SR (Strategic Reasoning), devoted to all aspects of strategic reasoning in formal methods and artificial intelligence. Over the years the communities and research themes of both workshops got closer, with a significant overlap in the participants and organizers of both events. For this reason, the two events have been unified under the same flag, formally joining the two communities. As such, the LAMAS&SR workshop aims to bring together researchers working on different aspects of either logic or strategic reasoning in computer science, artificial intelligence, and multi-agent systems research, both from a theoretical and a practical viewpoint.
TOPICS
The topics covered by LAMAS&SR include, but are not limited to:
- Logical systems for specification, analysis, and reasoning about MAS
- Logic-based modeling of multi-agent systems
- Dynamical multi-agent systems
- Deductive systems and decision procedures for logics for MAS
- Development and implementation of methods for verification of MAS
- Logic-based tools for multi-agent systems
- Logics for reasoning about strategic abilities
- Formal aspects of mechanism design, verification, and synthesis
- Formal aspects of knowledge representation and reasoning
- Logical foundations of decision theory for multi-agent systems
- Strategic reasoning in formal verification
- Automata theory for strategy synthesis
- Applications and tools for cooperative and adversarial reasoning
- Robust planning and optimization in multi-agent systems
- Risk and uncertainty in multi-agent systems
- Quantitative aspects in strategic reasoning
- Neuro-symbolic AI for multi-agent systems
IMPORTANT DATES
- May 10, 2026 (AoE): Paper Submission Deadline
- May 24, 2026 (AoE): Notification of Acceptance
- July 19, 2026: Workshop
- Giuseppe Perelli, “La Sapienza University of Rome”, Italy

SUBMISSION
Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts of up to 4 pages plus 1 page for references only, in the format of the KR 2026 conference (KR26_authors_kit.zip). Both published and unpublished works are welcome. Submissions are subject to a single-blind review process (submissions should not be anonymous).
Although there will be no formal proceedings, accepted extended abstracts will be available on the workshop website. Submissions must be in PDF and will be handled via HotCRP using the following link: https://submissions.floc26.org/lamas-sr/paper/new
Submissions from PC members are also allowed. Since the workshop will have informal proceedings, extended versions of the accepted papers can also be submitted elsewhere.
PROCEEDINGS
The informal proceedings will be available as a single PDF file from the workshop website. Extended and revised versions of the best papers presented at the workshop will be invited for a journal special issue.
