C-MAS 2026

Join us for the C-MAS 2026 workshop, where we explore citizen-centric AI and multiagent systems. In today's world, large-scale AI systems hold the potential to tackle critical societal challenges, from decarbonising our energy system to facilitating on-demand mobility and improving disaster response. However, we often overlook the active role of citizen end users, treating them merely as data providers and service consumers. Our workshop aims to shift this perspective and explore innovative approaches that treat citizen end users as primary agents with diverse needs and preferences. By doing so, we can develop more trustworthy, fair, and widely accepted sociotechnical solutions to pressing societal challenges.

At C-MAS 2026, we will leverage the extensive research in multiagent systems to model, design, and reason about complex systems comprising interacting self-interested agents. This includes citizen end users, service providers, governmental bodies, and other stakeholders. Furthermore, we will incorporate cutting-edge techniques from trustworthy AI, focusing on fairness promotion and explainability enhancement.
