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
-

-
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@carleton.ca.
