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.

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Submissions are invited on significant, original, and unpublished research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-guidelines>,
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).
