LaMAS 2026 focuses on the emerging field of multi-agent systems powered by LLMs. As interest in using multiple LLM agents to solve complex problems grows, our main objective is to systematically address the critical challenges and opportunities that arise from their interaction. We aim to bridge the gap in understanding failure modes, alignment challenges, and responsible behavior in these systems. The workshop will foster discussion on making these systems powerful, transparent, verifiable, and aligned with human intent.

We welcome both short papers (up to 4 pages) and long papers (up to 8 pages) following the AAAI template. Submissions may include recently published work, under-review papers, work in progress, and position papers. All submissions will undergo peer review through a double-blind process. While workshop publication is non-archival, accepted papers will be featured on our website with the author's permission. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
Organization of multiple LLM agents, including their interaction paradigms, coordination strategies, and communication protocols.
Evaluation and Optimization for assessing LaMAS's performance with emergent behaviors, and fine-tuning techniques to enhance its efficiency and effectiveness.
Safety, Trust, and Responsibility about how to design LaMAS that are safe, aligned, and trustworthy. This includes responsible agent behavior, human-in-the-loop oversight, and regulatory frameworks that ensure accountability, fairness, and transparency in real-world deployments.
Real-World Applications spanning software development, scientific research, education, and business processes, with infrastructures for large-scale multi-agent LLM deployments.
