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 are available on the AAMAS
2026 web site.
