Participants designed and built an autonomous agent that negotiates on behalf of a factory manager situated in a supply chain management simulation. The goal of a factory manager in SCML is to maximize its profit given its private production capabilities by negotiating trades with other agents. A factory manager can engage in several negotiations simultaneously, for which its utility functions are in general interdependent. These negotiations, and any ensuing contracts, are bilateral and private to the agents involved.
The 2026 edition ran two tracks: OneShot and Standard. See the OneShot track overview, the Standard track overview and the 2026 CFP for the rules that applied.
We thank all our participants for their great efforts. Agent source code and reports are available in the scml-agents GitHub repository.
