Where to Submit
SAGT 2026 uses Easychair. Submission server (not yet open):
Submissions must be anonymous. SAGT 2026 will use double-blind reviewing like WINE, EC, and all other major conferences. Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. In particular, authors’ names, affiliations, and email addresses should not appear anywhere in the submission. (In LNCS, \author{} and \institute{} fields should not be included.) Authors should refer to their prior work in a neutral manner (for example, say “XYZ showed” instead of “we showed”). Submissions may include work that has been publicly presented (as long as it has not appeared in published proceedings) or posted on arXiv or similar online repositories, provided that the submission itself is properly anonymized.
Submissions may be up to 18 pages long (including title page and references) in LNCS format. Note that SAGT 2026 requires submissions in LNCS format (provided as part of Springer's LaTeX2e package). In addition, an appendix may be included at the end of the paper and will be read at the discretion of the reviewers. Submissions deviating from these guidelines may be rejected without review.
Authors are strongly encouraged to structure their paper in a way that includes a clear presentation of the merits of the paper and a discussion of the importance of the results, as well as an exposition of the key conceptual and technical ideas.
A conflict of interest (COI) is limited to the following categories:
???Family member or close friend
???Ph.D. advisor or advisee (no time limit), or postdoctoral or undergraduate mentor or mentee within the past five years
???Person with the same affiliation
???Involved in an alleged incident of harassment (it is not required that the incident be reported)
???Reviewer owes the author a favor (e.g., recently requested a reference letter)
???Frequent or recent collaborator,?i.e., current joint work in progress or joint publication within the last 5 years, whom you believe cannot objectively review your work
The symposium proceedings will be published by Springer as a Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) proceedings volume. Accepted papers will be allocated at most 18 pages (including title page and references) in LNCS format in the proceedings. Please refer to Springer's Information for Authors for detailed guidelines on how to prepare the final manuscript.
To accommodate the publishing traditions of different fields, authors of accepted papers can choose to publish a one-page abstract of their paper in the proceedings. The paper must then provide a URL referring to the full version of the paper; authors should guarantee the link to be reliable for at least two years. Such papers must be formatted and submitted just like regular papers (as described above).
Results previously published or presented at another archival conference prior to SAGT, or published (or accepted for publication) at a journal prior to the submission deadline, will not be considered for publication. Simultaneous submission to WINE 2026 is explicitly allowed. In case the paper is accepted for publication at SAGT, the authors have to withdraw the paper from WINE 2026. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed. Simultaneous submission of results to a journal is allowed only if the authors publish the paper as a one-page abstract in SAGT 2026.
?
Conference participants will have free access to the online conference proceedings of SAGT 2026.
SAGT 2026 will extend invitations to a selection of accepted papers for publication in a dedicated special issue of the ACM Transactions on Economics and Computation (TEAC) (details will be communicated in due course).
The SAGT proceedings of previous years are available on SpringerLink

Hotels in Augsburg
Augsburg has many hotels. However, for your convenience, we advise you to avoid taking a hotel in the north of Augsburg, as the travel time could be too high.
From the city center (K?nigsplatz), you can travel to the university within 15 - 20 minutes, using public transport.
Thus, we recommend choosing a hotel located somewhere between K?nigsplatz and the university, or a hotel that is moderately close to a stop of the tram line 3.

Arriving at Lecture Hall 2045N
Address: Universit?tsstra?e 6a
86159 Augsburg
To reach the workshop room after you exit the tram at the stop "Universit?t", head south and follow the pedestrian path until you encounter a big crossing.?At the crossing, head right and walk until you arrive at the sculpture of a red trojan horse.Look into the direction the horse is looking and enter through the door you see on the ground level.?If you enter through this door, the lecture hall 2045N, is directly in front of you.
