• Use at least 11-point fonts, single-spacing between lines, and at least 1-inch margins all around.
• An appendix may be included at the end of the paper and will be read at the discretion of the reviewers.
• Submissions deviating significantly from these guidelines may be rejected without review.
• Authors are strongly encouraged to structure their paper to clearly present the merits, importance of results, and key conceptual and technical ideas.

Peer Review

SAGT 2025 implements a single-blind peer-review process.

Submission Options

• Regular Papers: Accepted papers will be allocated at most 18 pages in the proceedings in LNCS format.
• One-page Abstract: Authors of accepted papers can choose to publish a one-page abstract in the proceedings. The full version must be available online via a reliable URL (guaranteed for at least two years). These papers must be formatted and submitted like regular papers.

Rules on Prior Work

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 as regular papers. Simultaneous submission of regular papers to another conference with published proceedings is not allowed. Simultaneous submission of results to a journal is allowed only if the authors intend to publish the paper as a one-page abstract in SAGT 2025.

Proceedings and Special Issue

• The symposium proceedings will be published by Springer as a Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) proceedings volume.
• Conference participants will have free access to the online conference proceedings.
• SAGT 2025 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).

Best Paper Award

There will be a SAGT 2025 Best Paper Award, accompanied by a prize of 1000 Euro offered by Springer.

Call for Tutorials

SAGT 2025 will host one tutorial on the afternoon of 2 September 2025. Interested individuals are invited to submit a proposal by emailing a one-page description of the proposed tutorial. Submissions received by 1 May 2025 will receive full consideration.
