** ACM/SIGART Autonomous Agents Research Award 2013 **

The selection committee for the ACM/SIGART Autonomous Agents Research
Award is pleased to announce that the recipient of the 2013 award is
Professor Jeffrey S. Rosenschein (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem,
Israel). Professor Rosenschein is honoured for his pioneering work on
the use of game theory in multi-agent systems.  Among Professor
Rosenschein's many contributions in this area are techniques for
automated negotiation, computational social choice, multi-agent
planning, and mechanism design in computational settings. In addition,
Professor Rosenschein has a substantial track record of community
service, having been general co-chair for the AAMAS conference in
2003, president of the International Foundation for Autonomous Agents
and Multiagent Systems (IFAAMAS), and serving as co-editor-in-chief
for the journal "Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems".

The ACM/SIGART Autonomous Agents Research Award is presented annually
for research excellence in the area of autonomous agents. It is
intended to recognize researchers whose current work is an important
influence on the field. The award is an official ACM award, funded by
an endowment created by ACM SIGART from the proceeds of Autonomous
Agents conferences.  Previous recipients of the ACM/SIGART Autonomous
Agents Research Award were: Moshe Tennenholtz (2012), Joe Halpern (2011), 
Jonathan Gratch and Stacy Marsella (2010), Manuela Veloso (2009), 
Yoav Shoham (2008), Sarit Kraus (2007), Michael Wooldridge (2006),
