ABOUT MASO 2026
---------------

The rapid rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Agentic AI is transforming
autonomous systems from isolated agents into interconnected, highly specialized
networks of collaborative agents.

Modern organizations are evolving into hybrid ecosystems where human workers collaborate alongside heterogeneous agents powered by LLMs, symbolic reasoning, and external integrations. While the Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) community brings decades of expertise in distributed decision-making and coordination, the operational deployment of agentic AI in organizations introduces novel socio-technical challenges.

MASO 2026 aims to bridge the theoretical, operational, and governance gaps in deploying multi-agent and agentic systems within private enterprises and public sector organizations. The workshop brings together researchers and practitioners across Multi-Agent Systems, Agentic AI, Information Systems, Organizational Theory, Human-AI Collaboration, and Ethics to help shape the future of AI in organizations.


TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------

We welcome original theoretical, methodological, empirical, and design-oriented
contributions on multi-agent and agentic systems in organizational settings.
Interdisciplinary contributions are particularly welcome.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Agent Architectures and Orchestration
- Centralized, decentralized, and hybrid architectures
- Orchestration of agents across organizational processes

- Agent roles, specialization, lifecycle, state, and resource management

- Interoperability and Enterprise Integration of Agents
- Agent-to-agent and agent-to-system communication
- Communication protocols, standards, and semantic interoperability
- Integration with enterprise platforms, APIs, databases, and tools
- Authentication, authorization, access control, and identity management

- Multi-Agent Coordination and Distributed Decision-Making in Organizations
- Distributed planning, problem-solving, and decision-making
- Task allocation, scheduling, and resource allocation
- Negotiation, consensus, coalition formation, and conflict resolution
