Workshop on Computer Use Agents

📢 Accepted Papers & Poster Presentation Instructions

Congratulations to all accepted authors! 

Please submit your camera-ready papers by June 30, 2025 (11:59 pm AoE).  More instructions below.

✉️ submission tracks

• Paper Track with up to 8 pages (excluding references and supplementary materials).  Authors may optionally include a short video demonstration as supplementary material, however the focus should be on the paper.

📚 scope of submissions

We encourage a broad range of submissions, including but not limited to:

• Learning Algorithms - which new architectures and learning techniques (e.g. memory mechanisms for extended tasks, exploration strategies) can enhance the intrinsic ability of computer use agents to acquire, represent, and refine knowledge?

• Orchestration - what novel frameworks or control methods (e.g. dynamic task planning, modular coordination, multi-agent systems) can efficiently manage and integrate multiple learning components to optimize overall agent performance?

• Interfaces - how should agents perceive and act within their environments (e.g., via APIs or UI interactions), and should we design unified systems or specialized agents for different modalities?

• Guardrails, safety & societal implications - what guardrails do we need in order to make computer use models safe for deployment ``in the wild'' while ensuring that they have a positive impact on society?

• Benchmarking & tools - how can we develop robust environments and evaluation metrics that capture the diversity of real-world settings? Do we need new tools or frameworks to make research on computer use more efficient and accessible?

• Human-agent interaction - how will future interactions evolve? Should we optimize agents for full autonomy or design them as personalized, human-centric collaborators?

• Broader applications - what are some practical applications for computer use agents across domains such as healthcare, scientific research, software engineering and testing etc.?

• Capability horizon - what breakthroughs or engineering challenges are required to enable agents orders of magnitude more capable than today, and what implications would such advances have?

🌱 miscellaneous

• Format: All submissions should follow the ICML 2025 style guidelines.

• Double-blind reviewing: please ensure you do not include any identifying information in your submission.

• Submissions must be made via OpenReview.

• We accept concurrent submissions (i.e., work under review elsewhere) and encourage authors to submit works-in-progress.

• Openness and reproducibility: Submissions featuring open-source code, detailed experimental sections and performance benchmarks are highly preferred.

📢 Accepted Papers & Poster Presentation Instructions

• Ensure your updated PDF includes author names, addresses reviewer concerns where possible, and modifies the footer note to clearly state "Workshop on Computer-use Agents @ ICML 2025, Vancouver, Canada. Copyright 2025 by the author(s)." You can submit the updated version by navigating to your submission on OpenReview and selecting the "Edit → Revision" button.

• Remember also to prepare your poster following ICML’s official poster instructions, including sizing, formatting, and printing details here. Poster adhesive and setup materials will be provided on-site during the workshop. Authors are responsible for poster content and delivery.

We look forward to your camera-ready submissions and welcoming you in person to present your posters and engage with the community!
