ABOUT

=========

Over the past fifteen years, research communities in artificial
intelligence, algorithmic game theory, theoretical computer science,
multi-agent systems, and microeconomics have joined forces to tackle
problems involving incentives and computation. Interestingly, while
microeconomics provides computer science with the basic models, computer
science raises crucial questions related to computation and learning that
suggest studying new models. The result is a synergic integration of all
the fields. Interestingly, the final goal is the provision of rigorous,
theoretical methods to deal with multiple strategic players.

In recent years, these topics have been central in the AI/ML venues, as
demonstrated by the many papers awarded with the best paper awards in
conferences such as IJCAI and NeurIPS and the AI projects awarded with the
Marvin Minsky Medal.

This workshop aims to bring together the wide variety of scientists that
AIxIA attracts in order to have a multidisciplinary forum within which to
discuss and analyze current and novel challenges.

======

WHAT CAN BE SUBMITTED?

-Algorithmic game theory

-Algorithmic mechanism design

-Algorithmic social choice

-Applications of algorithms for games

-Convergence and multi-agent learning in games

-Formal methods for strategic reasoning

-Green-oriented game models

============

SUBMISSIONS

============

All paper submissions will be peer-reviewed and evaluated on the basis of
the quality of their contribution, originality, soundness, and
significance.

Submissions can be of four categories:

-Research papers: describing new results or ongoing works.

-Blue-skies papers: describing visionary ideas, long-term challenges, new
research opportunities, and controversial debates.

-Extended abstracts of published papers: describing results previously
published in premier international AI conferences (e.g., AAAI, AAMAS,
IJCAI, KR).

-Research Projects: A description of an ongoing or concluded research
project

Submitted papers should have between 5 and 12 pages (references excluded).

Papers should be formatted according to the CEUR-WS's single-column style
<https://ceur-ws.org/>, available also on Overleaf
<https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-workshop-proceedings-ceur-ws-dot-org/wqyfdgftmcfw>
.

Submissions must be in PDF format and will be handled via the EasyChair
conference system at this link (
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spirit2026) as a single PDF file.

================

POST-PROCEEDINGS

===============

SPIRIT proceedings will be published in CEUR Workshop Proceedings series.
Papers between 5 and 9 pages (references excluded) will be considered short
papers, while papers with 10 or more pages (references excluded) will be
considered regular papers.
