AIRS 2026: Agentic AI in Real-World Systems - Infrastructure, Algorithms, and Deployment
AIRS 2026 is a half-day, non-archival workshop co-located with ICPP 2026 in Singapore, focusing on agentic AI as a distributed systems workload. It brings together researchers and practitioners to discuss infrastructure, algorithms, and real-world deployment challenges for agentic systems that integrate LLMs, tools, multi-agent coordination, and human-in-the-loop workflows under operational constraints.

Policies worth checking twice
- Submissions undergo double-anonymous (double-blind) peer review.
- Submissions must not reveal author identities or affiliations; authors must refer to their own prior work in the third person.
- Authors must use the ACM Primary Article Template with \documentclass[sigconf,review,anonymous]{acmart} and must not modify margins, font sizes, or spacing.
- AIRS 2026 is a non-archival workshop; accepted submissions will not be included in formal proceedings.
- Concurrent submissions to archival conferences or journals are allowed, provided anonymity and venue policies are respected.
- Authors may submit extended or revised versions of their work to archival venues after AIRS.
- At least one presenter for each accepted submission must register for ICPP 2026; no workshop-only registration is available.
- OpenReview profiles must be created well in advance, and non-institutional emails may require up to two weeks for activation.
