PEAQ Summit 2027

Paper Submission Guidelines

September 15 to 17, 2027  |  Los Angeles, California

The PEAQ Summit 2027 invites original research, case studies, and field reports on the science of post-deployment AI observation: how AI systems behave once they are in the world, what grows when humans and AI collaborate, what happens to the humans in those relationships, and what emerges when AI meets AI.

Submissions are open to academics, practitioners, independent researchers, and PRISM Fellows. We accept research across the full P.E.A.Q. architecture plus cross-framework and Convergent Validation submissions. We value the work over the credential.

Submission Categories

Full Research Papers

Original empirical or theoretical contributions to post-deployment AI observation. Submissions undergo double-blind peer review by the program committee. Accepted papers are published in the official PEAQ Summit 2027 proceedings.

8 to 12 pages

Short Papers

Work-in-progress, preliminary findings, position papers, or focused contributions that do not yet warrant a full paper. Accepted short papers are presented as posters or lightning talks during the Summit.

4 to 6 pages

Practitioner Reports

Case studies and applied work from people building, deploying, or operating AI systems in production. No formal academic methodology required. We want the lessons real-world deployment teaches that benchmarks cannot.

4 to 8 pages

Independent Research Reports

Original research from independent investigators, journalists, and civil-society organizations.

No formal academic methodology required. No organizational affiliation required. We value the work over the format.

4 to 6 pages

PRISM Fellow Field Reports

Reserved for PRISM Fellows with 500 or more verified observations. Field reports surface patterns the contributor has noticed in their own observation record.

The people closest to the data often see what the researchers miss. This track exists because of that.

2 to 4 pages
Submission Tracks

Submissions should align with one or more of the six P.E.A.Q. tracks. Indicate the primary track on the title page and list any secondary tracks in your keywords.

Research on AI behavioral drift, degradation, and breakdown under real operational conditions. Drift taxonomies, longitudinal behavioral studies, post-deployment monitoring methodologies, safety events, and behavioral pattern analysis. Five pillars: Post-Deployment Behavior, Runtime Research, Interaction Dynamics, Substrate Governance, Multi-Agent Safety.

Review Process
Full Research Papers
Double-blind peer review
Three reviewers per paper. Decisions based on the five review criteria below.
Short Papers
Double-blind peer review (light-touch)
Two reviewers per paper. Held to the same criteria, scaled to scope.
Practitioner Reports
Editorial review
Two committee members assess relevance, clarity, and the transferability of the case study.
Independent Research Reports
Editorial review
Two committee members assess originality and contribution. Methodological pluralism is welcomed.
PRISM Fellow Field Reports
Fellow-track review
Reviewed by a mixed panel of research staff and PRISM Fellows for pattern coherence and contribution to the field record.
Review Criteria
RelevanceDoes the work advance post-deployment AI observation as a field?
OriginalityDoes the work contribute something the field does not already have?
RigorAre claims supported by evidence appropriate to the submission category?
ClarityCan a reader outside the immediate sub-area follow the argument?
ImpactWill the work change how researchers, practitioners, or policymakers act?
