*** Call for Nominations ***
********************************************************************************

2014 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 in the autonomous
agents
and multiagent systems field that have made influential and long-lasting
contributions.  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 proven 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-2014 in Paris 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 2004 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
Toru
Ishida (chair of the 2014 committee for this award), ishida at i.kyoto-u.ac.jp.
(Please put NOMINATION in the subject line.)

Nominations are due by the 17th of February 2014.

2014 Influential Paper Award Committee:
