2026 IEEE World Congress on SERVICES
(SERVICES 2026)

The 2nd International Workshop on Reliable and Efficient Multi-agent Services (REMS 2026) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of multi-agent systems, Web services, and service computing. The workshop focuses on emerging theories, architectures, and systems that ena-ble reliable, efficient, and trustworthy collaboration among intelligent agents in service-oriented environ-ments.

As intelligent agents increasingly participate in service planning, orchestration, execution, and adaptation, they are reshaping how complex service ecosystems are designed and operated. This trend is especially relevant to modern Web and service computing, where autonomous agents can support dynamic service composition, cross-platform coordination, and adaptive service delivery across cloud and edge environ-ments. At the same time, these advances introduce new challenges in dependability, trust, privacy, verifi-cation, and runtime efficiency. REMS 2026 provides a focused forum for discussing new advances in agent-based service architectures, autonomous service composition, distributed coordination, fault-tolerant or-chestration, and trustworthy multi-agent service systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Reliable orchestration of multi-agent service workflows
• Agent-based service composition and execution
• Agent-as-a-Service architectures and deployment models
• Robust planning, negotiation, and coordination under uncertainty
• Trustworthy collaboration in agent-based service ecosystems
• Security, privacy, and data protection for multi-agent services
• Formal models, verification, and runtime assurance for agent behaviors
• Cloud-edge collaboration for distributed multi-agent service systems
• Lightweight coordination for resource-constrained and on-device agents
• Communication-efficient and network-aware protocols for distributed agents
• Agent operating systems and runtime frameworks for service delivery
• Cross-agent learning and knowledge transfer in service environments
• Multi-modal data governance for agent-enabled services
• Dependability, observability, and monitoring of agentic service systems.
