These uploads are optional. The optional-materials deadline in your time-zone is:

Design and build a negotiation agent for bilateral negotiation that tries to mislead its opponent. The agent is rewarded for the agreement made in the negotiation, as well as for how well it is able to deceive its opponent. The challenge is to mislead the opponent, while maximizing reward. For more details, see the CFP and the Tutorial.

NEWS

  • July 15th, 2026 Optional presentation materials now open. You may now optionally upload presentation slides, a poster, and a video link for your agent from your agent page. These uploads are entirely optional and have no effect on scoring or ranking. If you prefer, you can send your video to the organizers and we will upload it for you. Submission is open until August 1st, 2026, 23:59 AoE.
  • July 1st, 2026 Finalists announced. The finalists are announced today. See the finalist standings below.
  • July 1st, 2026 Travel support scholarships open. Travel support scholarships are now open for submission for finalists. To qualify you must have been a student at the time of agent submission, be a finalist, attend ANAC in person, and fill in this form by July 10th, 2026. The scholarship is provided as reimbursement of expenses supported by receipts and deemed necessary to attend the ANAC session.
  • June 22nd, 2026 Tentative qualified agents announced. The tentative list of qualified agents is announced today. It is provisional, subject to submission of the academic report by the report deadline.
  • June 17th, 2026 Final deadline extension. The agent submission deadline is extended to June 21st, 2026, 23:59 AoE and the report & requirements submission deadline to June 23rd, 2026, 23:59 AoE for all leagues (ANL, HAN, SCML). This is the final extension — no further extensions will be granted.
  • June 8th, 2026 Starting with the next tournament, we will allow at most ONE agent per participant in the online competition (per league-track). This keeps tournaments fast and aligns with the ANAC one-agent-per-team rule. If a participant has more than one active agent in a track, only one is entered. The last tournament of the qualification will run around June 11th, 2026.
  • June 4th, 2026 New fairness rule: each team may run at most two agents in the same league-track (ANL, HAN, and each SCML track — OneShot, Standard, Collusion — counted separately). If a team has more active agents than that in a track, only the most recently uploaded two run — the oldest are dropped. Please keep at most two active agents per track. ANAC rules does not allow multiple agents from the same team to compete in the same league-track (multiple agents from the same institution are allowed as long as they are developed independently). You MUST keep only ONE agent per league per track by the submission deadline.
  • May 31st, 2026 You can now self-declare the technologies your negotiator uses (Deep Learning, MARL, Game Theory, Bayesian methods, RAG, etc.) on the agent edit page. Tagging is voluntary and does not affect scoring or ranking in any way — it helps researchers find agents that match the methods they're surveying.
  • May 21st, 2026 New on your participant home page: Stats and Charts tabs. The Stats tab summarises every tournament your agents ran in (runs, best/mean/latest score, best rank, exception totals) per league. The Charts tab plots your score over time as a line chart, one panel per league. Sign in and open /home to see them.
  • May 19th, 2026 Starting May 21st, 2026 we will enforce Python naming conventions on every new submission. Negotiators whose class name is the placeholder MyNegotiator (or MyAgent) or whose module path contains the segment mynegotiator (or myagent) will be rejected by the submission form and excluded from official tournament runs. Please pick a unique PascalCase class name (e.g. MyTeamNegotiator) and a lower_snake_case dotted module path (e.g. teamx.strategy) before re-uploading. If you submitted with the default placeholder names, you should have received an email with the details — reply to that email if you need help.
  • May 7th, 2026 The submission deadline has been extended to June 15th, 2026 for all leagues.
  • February 6th, 2026 The submission site is now ready for submissions. Welcome to ANL 2026!
