AAMAS 2027 - Call for Blue Sky Ideas

The 26th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Blue Sky Ideas special track is intended to present and provoke visionary ideas, long-term challenges, new research opportunities, and debate. It serves as an incubator for innovative, risky, and provocative research directions, and aims to provide a forum for publishing and presenting these without being constrained by the result-oriented standards followed in the review process of the main track of the conference. Research visions and ideas can cross disciplines, envisioning new directions relevant for Agents and advancing Multi-Agent Systems research through interdisciplinary viewpoints.

We encourage papers to reflect on the future of the research area and its community within the broader AI and computing landscape. We invite submissions that focus on:

  *   novel, overlooked, or under-represented application areas to which agent research may contribute;
  *   potential paths for agent research to contribute to the state of the art in other AI and computing areas and the other way around;
  *   unexplored theoretical grounds for agent research.

Overall, we aim at papers that help guide the agent community to achieve in the coming years a leading position within AI and computing research.

Evaluation Criteria

Reviewers will assess papers based on:

  *   Relevance and Advancement (level of future-thinking)
  *   Novelty and Vision (level of “Blue Sky”-ness)
  *   Background and Foundation (level of grounded-ness)
  *   Impact and Practicality (level of real-world applicability)
  *   Rigour and Clarity (level of strength of contribution)
  *   Author Track Record (evaluated by track chairs)

The Blue Sky Ideas track follows the same core policies as the main track: submissions must be original, reviewing is double-blind, and at least one author of each accepted paper will be required to register and present.
