AAAI TRACK

AAMAS 2026 invites submissions to its AAAI track. We are looking for AAAI-26 submissions rejected from the main AAAI track that are relevant to the AAMAS research community and received no reject review recommendations (all review scores are weak reject or above). Authors are expected to update their manuscripts to address the comments of the AAAI reviewers and reformat them using the AAMAS style. All submitted material will be checked for correctness with AAAI and reviewed by members of the AAMAS program committee. We expect to accept only a fraction of the submitted manuscripts and will provide only short meta-reviews to explain the accept/reject decisions.

Important Dates

  • Submission deadline: Nov 17, 2025
  • Decisions: Feb 15, 2026
  • Camera-ready deadline: Feb 21, 2026
  • Author Registration Deadline: Mar 31, 2026

All deadlines are at the end of the specified day, Anywhere on Earth (UTC-12).

Submission Requirements

The AAMAS submission must be based on a rejected AAAI-26 submission

  1. that was submitted to the main AAAI track; and
  2. that did not receive any reject review (all review scores are 5 or above); and
  3. that is relevant to the AAMAS research community.

The submission guidelines for the AAMAS 2026 Main Technical Track, available here, apply to the AAAI track with the exceptions given below:

Authors must submit in one PDF document:

  1. their original AAAI submission;
  2. all AAAI review scores and reviews (including the meta-review);
  3. the AAMAS submission (that is, the updated AAAI submission), in the format required for the AAMAS 2026 Main Technical Track and with the same restrictions;
  4. in addition, all changes made should be highlighted in color (for example, red text or text highlighted in yellow);
  5. at most a two-page long document that describes how the AAMAS submission addresses the comments of the AAAI reviewers; and
  6. a short statement of why the submission is relevant for the AAMAS research community, together with one of the areas of interest listed on the Call for Papers (Main Technical Track) that describes the AAMAS submission.

The publication of the 2-page extended abstracts is not an option for this track.
