The IJCAI John McCarthy Award
The Trustees of the International Joint Conferences on Artificial
Intelligence (IJCAI) are pleased to announce the John McCarthy research
award. This award is intended to recognize established mid-career
researchers that have built up a major track record of research
excellence in artificial intelligence. Recipients of the award will have
made significant contributions to the research agenda in their area and
will have a first-rate profile of influential research results.
Note that the McCarthy award is intended to recognize mid-career
researchers, typically between fifteen to twenty-five years after
obtaining their PhD. Other IJCAI research awards are intended to
recognize early career researchers (the IJCAI Computers & Thought Award)
and researchers who have demonstrated excellence throughout an entire
career (the IJCAI Research Excellence Award).
The award is named for John McCarthy (1927-2011), who is widely
recognized as one of the founders of the field of artificial
intelligence. As well as giving the discipline its name, McCarthy made
fundamental contributions of lasting importance to computer science in
general and artificial intelligence in particular, including
time-sharing operating systems, the LISP programming languages,
knowledge representation, common-sense reasoning, and the logicist
paradigm in artificial intelligence.
The award was established with the full support and encouragement of the
McCarthy family.
