PRIMA 2025: Call for Papers

The 26th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent Systems (PRIMA 2025) will be held in Modena, Italy from December 16-19, 2025.

PRIMA 2025 invites submissions of original, unpublished work strongly relevant to Multi-Agent Systems. Apart from theoretical work, we encourage the submission of reports on the development of applications or prototypes of deployed agent systems, and of experiments that demonstrate novel agent system capabilities. In addition to this, we also encourage the submission of position and review papers that are of particular relevance to the multi-agent community.
