Empowering Multi-Agent Intelligence
The 29th PRIMA conference explores cutting-edge multi-agent system principles in the historic city of Kumamoto. Join international pioneers defining a new era of collaborative technical innovation.
Call for Papers – PRIMA 2026
PRIMA 2026 explores “Beyond Traditional MAS”, combining classic Multi‑Agent Systems (MAS) with Generative and Agentic AI (GAAI). We invite work on next‑generation agent systems where LLM‑based agents, traditional MAS components, and humans coexist, collaborate, and compete, as well as contributions that strengthen core MAS foundations.
Main Areas of Interest
