12 Feb '26

The 9th International Conference on Algorithmic Decision Theory (ADT 2026) will be held at University Paris Dauphine-PSL on November 16-18, 2026 Established in 2009, the ADT conferences usually take place every two years with the aim of gathering researchers interested in the algorithmic aspects of decision theory. ADT seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners coming from diverse areas of Computer Science, Economics, and Operations Research in order to improve the theory and practice of modern decision support. Important Dates - Title and Abstract Submission: May 4th, 2026 - Full Paper Submission: May 11th, 2026 - Notification of acceptance: July 13th, 2026 - Final Version of Accepted Papers: August 11th, 2026 - Conference Dates: November 16th-18th, 2026 - Conference Webpage: https://adt2026.sciencesconf.org/ - Submission Webpage: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ADT2026 About ADT 2026 The 9th International Conference on Algorithmic Decision Theory (ADT 2026) focuses on algorithmic decision theory broadly defined, seeking to bring together researchers and practitioners coming from diverse areas of Computer Science, Economics, and Operations Research in order to improve the theory and practice of modern decision support. The conference topics include but not restricted to: - Algorithms - Argumentation Theory - Artificial Intelligence - Computational Social Choice - Database Systems - Decision Analysis - Discrete Mathematics - Game Theory - Machine Learning and Adversarial Machine Learning - Matching - Multi-agent Systems - Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding - Networks - Optimization - Preference Elicitation - Preference Modeling - Risk Analysis and Adversarial Risk Analysis - Utility Theory Submission Site and Details Submissions are invited on significant, original, and unpublished research on all aspects of Algorithmic Decision Theory. Papers must be at most 15 pages long in the LNCS format (including references). The formal proceedings of ADT 2026 will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) <http://www.springer.com/lncs>. ADT 2026 will not accept any paper that, at the time of submission, has already been published in a journal or another venue with formally published proceedings. However, in order to accommodate the publication norms of the many fields that work on decision theory, papers can be submitted but not already published elsewhere (i.e., are under review) provided the authors note they are submitting for the non-proceedings track at the top of their submission. All papers will be peer-reviewed by a double-blind procedure. Therefore, papers must be submitted anonymously as pdf documents via the Microsoft CMT <https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ADT2026> system. It is important and required that authors do not reveal their identities in submitted papers. Since the review process is double blind, authors must take measures to ensure that their identity is not easily revealed from the submission itself. Authors should include the submission number (as assigned by the conference system) in the author field of the submission, and refer to their prior work in a neutral manner (i.e., instead of saying “We showed” say “XYZ et al. showed”). It is acceptable to submit work that has been presented in public or has appeared on arXiv, provided the submission itself is anonymized. Submission Format: Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates <https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…>, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Note that at least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the conference to present the work. Authors will be required to agree to this requirement at the time of submission. In addition, the corresponding author of each accepted paper that will appear in the proceedings, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, will need to complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form, through which the copyright for their paper is transferred to Springer. You may submit an appendix of any length into the CMT system. There is a separate area in CMT for this, the appendix should be formatted in the same way as the main paper. Please note that reviewers are not required to review the appendix so the paper should stand on its own. To accommodate the publishing traditions of different fields, ADT 2026 will accept two types of submissions: Submissions with full text in the proceedings: Papers of this type will be accepted for either oral or poster presentation, or both. Each accepted paper of this type will be allocated at most 15 pages in the proceedings and there will be no distinction between papers accepted for oral or poster presentation in the conference proceedings. Submissions with two-pages abstract in the proceeding: Papers of this type will be accepted for either oral or poster presentation, or both. Each accepted paper of this type will appear as a two-pages abstract in the proceedings, along with a URL pointing to the full paper (on ArXiv or other service). This option is available to accommodate subsequent publication in venues that would not consider results that have been published in formal proceedings. Specifically, the full version of the two-pages abstract at ADT can be submitted to another archival conference or journal. Such papers must be formatted just like papers submitted for full-text publication, at the submission time, but authors are required to write “submission without proceedings” into the author field of their paper (instead of author names), if they choose this category. Otherwise, it will be assumed, by default, that their paper is submitted in the first category (submissions with full-text in the proceedings).

Updated Deadline and Final Call: The 8th Games, Agents, and Incentives Workshop (GAIW)@AAMAS 2026
by Nicholas Mattei 03 Feb '26

03 Feb '26

Call for Papers: The 8th Games, Agents, and Incentives Workshop (GAIW)@AAMAS 2026 Webpage: https://gtep-workshops.github.io/gaiw2026/ - Submission Deadline: February 4, 2026 Feb. 11th, 2026 (AoE) - Acceptance Notification: March 20, 2026 - Camera Ready: TBD (AoE) - Workshop: May 26, 2026 Call for Papers: We invite submissions to the 8th iteration of the Games, Agents and Incentives Workshop, co-located with AAMAS 2026 in Paphos, Cyprus, https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/. Games, Agents and Incentives is a confederated workshop which focuses on agents and incentives in AI. In particular, it promotes approaches that deal with game theory (cooperative and non-cooperative), social choice, and agent-mediated e-commerce aspects of AI systems. The confederated workshop merges multiple workshops that have been associated with AAMAS in the past, which considered different aspects of the general interplay between AI and economics including CoopMAS, AMEC, and EXPLORE. Over the past two decades, the focus of agent incentives in decentralised and centralised AI systems has increased dramatically. These issues come up when designing preference aggregation mechanisms and markets; computing equilibria and bidding strategies; facilitating cooperation among agents; and fairly dividing resources. ********************************************************** PAPER SUBMISSION ********************************************************** Authors should submit full papers electronically in PDF format at: https://openreview.net/group?id=ifaamas.org/AAMAS/2026/Workshop/GAIW Formatting Guidelines: Please format papers according to the AAMAS 2026 format (https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/submission-instructions/). Paper Length: Papers can be at most 8 pages long in AAMAS format. Additional pages may be used for references. Supplemental material can be appended at the end of the paper. However, reviewers are instructed to make their evaluations based on the main submission, and are not obligated to consult the supplemental material. Multiple Submissions: To widen participation and encourage discussion, there will be no formal publication of workshop proceedings. We will, however, post the accepted papers online to the benefit of the participants to the workshop. Therefore, submission of preliminary work and papers to be submitted or in preparation for submission to other major venues in the field are encouraged. Past Submissions: In order to strike a balance between new work and work that may have been presented, but not widely seen, we ask that if authors want to submit published work they do so non-anonymously and clearly indicate when and where the work was published. We will only accept work which has been published in the last calendar year (e.g., IJCAI 2025, NeurIPS 2025, AAAI 2025, AAAI 2026 and any conference held strictly after Jan 1, 2025). We invite papers on topics of game theory, mechanism design, fair allocation, computational social choice, and their applications to multi-agent systems: - Agentic AI Systems - Algorithmic mechanism design - Auctions - Behavioral Game Theory - Bounded rationality - Cooperative Games - Computational advertising - Computational aspects of equilibria - Computational social choice - Coalitions, coordination, collective action, and cooperation - Economic aspects of security and privacy - Economic aspects of distributed and network computing - Equilibrium computation - Empirical approaches to e-markets - Fairness (in ML & elsewhere) - Fair Division - Incentives in machine learning - Information and attention economics - Learning in games (e.g., solution concepts and equilibria) - Matching and Matching Markets - Negotiation - Preference aggregation and reasoning - Price differentiation and price dynamics - Social networks - Trading agent design and analysis - Uncertainty in AI and economic Best Presentation Award: The organizing committee of GAIW will be giving two awards (first-place and runner up) for best paper presentations. The award criteria include the clarity of presentation, the level of engagement, the content, and discussion handling. Inquiries: If you have any questions, direct them to alan.tsang(a)carleton.ca. ********************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES ********************************************************** - Submission Deadline: February 4, 2026 (AoE) - Acceptance Notification: March 20, 2026 - Camera Ready: TBD (AoE) - Workshop: May 26, 2026 ********************************************************** ORGANIZATION ********************************************************** Program Chairs Ben Armstrong, Tulane University Michael Curry, University of Illinois Chicago Hadi Hosseini, Penn State University Nicholas Mattei, Tulane University Alan Tsang, Carleton University Tomasz Wąs, University of Oxford -- *Nicholas Mattei* Associate Professor, Tulane University nsmattei(a)tulane.edu | www.nickmattei.net Stanley Thomas Hall | 305B +1 504 247 1416 Department of Computer Science Tulane University 6823 St Charles Ave New Orleans, LA 70118
