About this event

What to expect

AGENT 2026 is a dedicated workshop focused on agentic engineering—the design, development, and operation of systems that exhibit goal-directed autonomy. In the era of foundation models and large language models, this workshop brings together researchers and practitioners who are advancing how intelligent agents interact with other agents, humans, and a variety of tools. The event is positioned within ICSE 2026 and is anchored by a theme around building robust, safe, and observable agentic systems in practice. Attendees can expect discussions that bridge software engineering with AI, exploring how multi-agent interactions, tool use, and human-in-the-loop decision making shape the engineering lifecycle—from specification and verification to deployment and governance.

Key focus areas include: the design of agentic architectures that coordinate several agents and humans; evaluation and benchmarking of agentic systems; handling the growing capabilities of automated agents and their interactions with tools and other agents; risk assessment, robustness, and observability in agentic contexts; and the software engineering implications of deploying autonomous, goal-directed systems in real-world settings. The workshop emphasizes practical challenges and research opportunities at the intersection of AI, automation, and software engineering, with an eye toward scalable engineering practices for agentic systems.

The ICSE 2026 program features panels that complement the workshop topics, such as Panel: Technical Debt in the AI Era, Panel: Toward a Healthy Software Engineering Community, and discussions under SE.next focusing on the agentic era. This contextualizes AGENT 2026 within a broader agenda about responsible AI, evolving software engineering practices, and the societal implications of increasingly capable autonomous systems. The workshop is scheduled for ICSE 2026 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Sun 12 Apr – Sat 18 Apr 2026), hosted at Windsor Convention Center and Hotels. Attendees should expect a collaborative, discussion-driven format typical of ICSE workshops, with opportunities to engage in interactive sessions, exchange ideas, and explore open research questions in agentic engineering.

Audience-wise, the event targets researchers, educators, and practitioners in AI, software engineering, and human-agent collaboration who are exploring how to design, implement, and evaluate autonomous agents and agentic workflows. No prerequisite tools are required to particip
