         ACM SIGART AUTONOMOUS AGENTS RESEARCH AWARD 2013


Nominations are solicited for the 2013 ACM SIGART Autonomous Agents

field. The award is an official ACM award, funded by an endowment
created by ACM SIGART from the proceeds of previous Autonomous Agents
conferences.  The recipient of the award will receive a monetary prize
and a certificate, and will be invited to present a plenary talk at
the AAMAS 2013 conference in St Paul, MN, see:

HOW TO NOMINATE

Anybody can make a nomination. Nominations should be made by email to
the chair of the award committee, Michael Wooldridge (mjw at cs.ox.ac.uk), 
and should consist of a short (< 1 page) statement that clearly 
describes the research contributions that the individual has made 
that merit the award, and how these contributions have influenced 
the field.  

NOTE: a candidate can only be considered for the award if they 
are explicitly nominated. If you believe that someone deserves 
the award, then NOMINATE THEM -- don't assume that somebody 
else will!
