The objectives of the AAMAS 2026 workshop program are to stimulate and facilitate discussion, interaction, and comparison of approaches, methods, and ideas related to specific topics, both theoretical and applied, in the general area of Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems. The AAMAS 2026 workshops will provide an informal setting where participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics, fostering the active exchange of ideas and supporting community development. We invite the submission of workshop proposals for review. We encourage workshops proposals that focus on emerging topics, open research questions and challenges, as well as broader subjects of interest to a wider community. Additionally, we welcome workshops with previous editions at AAMAS that can attract established communities working in the same research area. Workshops may vary in length from half a day to two days, though most are expected to last one full day. Attendance will be limited to registered participants, and both organizers and attendees must register for their workshop, which will have a separate fee from the main conference. Workshop attendees are not required to register for the main AAMAS conference if they do not plan to attend it, though this is highly encouraged. AAMAS 2026 will be an in-person event in Paphos, Cyprus. AAMAS 2026 reserves the right to cancel workshops if the registration numbers do not cover their operating costs.

The conference will focus on system-theoretic approaches to address fundamental challenges to increase the confidence of neuro-symbolic systems by making them more secure, dependable, and trustworthy. Special emphasis will be placed on the design, analysis, and synthesis techniques for neuro-symbolic systems with a particular interest in assurance metrics, robustness, and ease of translation from design to production. In doing so, the conference aims to advance the development of principled approaches to the design, development, and deployment of complex and sophisticated neuro-symbolic systems. Topics of particular interest are: - Artificial Intelligence - Machine Learning - Autonomy - Cyber-Physical Systems - Formal Methods - Foundational Models - Neurosymbolic Programming - Neurosymbolic Hardware Submissions are solicited in the following three categories: - New research papers: papers that report new research in areas of interest to NeuS. We particularly encourage submissions that cross traditional area boundaries and address the core neuro-symbolic themes listed above. - Tutorial-style papers: papers that explain concept(s) from a subset of the sub-communities of NeuS in a form accessible to all of the areas served by NeuS. - Challenge problem and case study papers: papers that describe challenge problems of interest to NeuS or describe industrial-scale case studies employing existing research results, software, or hardware. As part of submissions, we also strongly encourage the submission of tools or datasets that can advance the field. The program will comprise a few keynotes, tutorials, contributed oral presentations, and poster presentations. Location: NeuS will be collocated with L4DC . Both conferences will be held on the campus of the University of Southern California (USC), which is around 3 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. USC is the largest private university in Southern California, and is well-connected to the rest of the city by the LA Metro. It is also close to a number of museums. *Website: *https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.google.com%2Fusc.edu%2Fneus2026%2Fhome&data=05%7C02%7Cfm-announcements%40lists.nasa.gov%7C190e2cb4aef947c5a9de08de15c17f23%7C7005d45845be48ae8140d43da96dd17b%7C0%7C0%7C638972119752899926%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C40000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=cMWeRoMNrHuB%2Bdpzy6YUQOKwBe8b%2FT02Fj0b3HLkDlU%3D&reserved=0 Important dates: Paper submission: February 1, 2026 Author notification: April 15, 2026 Pre-conference final version: May 15, 2026 Conference: June 16-18, 2026 All papers will be published in the Proceedings of Machine Learning Research (PMLR) series. Submissions can be up to 10 pages in length (except for tutorial papers that can have 20 to 30 pages), in the PMLR format , excluding references and appendices. All papers will be peer reviewed. Reviewers are not expected to read material in appendices, and the paper's results must be understandable from the material in the main paper. Papers should be submitted through Open Review. The review process is only single-blind, i.e., author names should be listed on the papers, but reviewers are anonymous to authors.
