** Call for Nominations *** *************************************************************************************************** 2010 IFAAMAS Award for Influential Papers in Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems ***************************************************************************************************
In 2006 The International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems established an award to recognize publications that have made influential and long-lasting contributions to the field. Candidates for this award are papers that have proved a key result, led to the development of a new subfield, demonstrated a significant new application or system, or simply presented a new way of thinking about a topic that has proved influential. A list of previous winners of this award is appended below. This award is presented annually at the AAMAS Conference, in this case AAMAS-2010 in Toronto in May. Winning papers must have been published at least 10 years before the award presentation, therefore this year's eligible set comprises papers published in 2000 or earlier, in any recognized forum (journal, conference, workshop). To nominate a publication for this award, please send the full reference plus a brief statement (150 words or fewer) about the significance of the paper to Lin Padgham (chair of the 2010 committee for this award), lin.padg...@rmit.edu.au. (Please put NOMINATION in the subject line.) Nominations are due by 18th January 2010. 2010 Influential Paper Award Committee: Lin Padgham (chair), Sarit Kraus, Michael Wellman, Catherine Pelachaud, Joerg Mueller ------------------------------------------- Previous Award Winners 2009 The award was given to the series of edited collections of papers on Distributed AI published in the late 1980s: M.
