Call for Papers: The Seventh International Conference on Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI 2025)
Debmalya Mandal
Scope
DAI 2025 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in related areas (e.g., general AI, multi-agent systems, distributed learning, computational game theory) to provide a high-profile, internationally renowned forum for research in the theory and practice of distributed AI. The seventh DAI conference will be held in London, UK, with in-person participation only, except for extenuating circumstances such as visa issues.
In addition to regular paper submissions, we will also invite a selection of accepted papers from sister conferences (e.g., AAMAS, AAAI, IJCAI, EC, KDD, ICLR, ICML, NeurIPS) to present at DAI 2025. The program will also include high-quality keynotes (from Michael I. Jordan, David Silver, Manuela M. Veloso, and Shimon Whiteson), workshops, tutorials, and industry sessions.
Information for Authors
DAI 2025 encourages the submission of theoretical, empirical, and perspective papers. Submissions should clearly explain the significance and relevance of their results to the DAI community. Each paper should contain a rigorous theoretical and/or an empirical evaluation, as well as relate to the existing literature. All submissions will be peer reviewed and evaluated for originality, soundness, relevance, significance, quality of presentation, and understanding of the state of the art.
- Submission Deadline: August 11, 2025 (23:59 UTC-12)
- Notification Date: September 8, 2025 (23:59 UTC-12)
- Submission Site: Easy Chair
- Paper Length: Max 8 pages (excluding references); unlimited appendix after bibliography (optional reading for reviewers)

Important note to authors about the new ACM open access publishing model
ACM has introduced a new open access publishing model for the International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Authors based at institutions that are not yet part of the ACM Open program and do not qualify for a waiver will be required to pay an article processing charge (APC) to publish their ICPS article in the ACM Digital Library. To determine whether or not an APC will be applicable to your article, please follow the detailed guidance here: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/author-guidance.
Further information may be found on the ACM website, as follows:
Full details of the new ICPS publishing model: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/faq
Full details of the ACM Open program: https://www.acm.org/publications/openaccess
Please direct all questions about the new model to acm...@acm.org.
All questions about submissions should be emailed to Yali Du (yal...@kcl.ac.uk), Sebastian Stein (s...@ecs.soton.ac.uk).
