Scope and Background
The vision for PRIMA 2026 is to chart a path "Beyond Traditional MAS" by fusing the rigorous foundations of conventional Multi-Agent Systems with the flexibility, adaptability, and context-awareness of Generative and Agentic AI (GAAI). As advanced AI models proliferate, the MAS community is at a critical juncture. Research is shifting from static agent design to the engineering of "Next-Generation Agent Systems"—complex ecosystems where LLM-based agents, traditional MAS components, and humans effectively coexist. PRIMA 2026 invites contributions that explore these new AI-driven possibilities while advancing the foundational disciplines essential for building robust, reliable, and beneficial agent societies.
The 27th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent Systems
PRIMA 2026 convenes the world’s foremost experts in Kumamoto to define the next generation of cooperative AI. Across four days of intensive program, we explore the theoretical foundations and real-world applications of decentralized intelligence and autonomous systems.
