** CALL FOR NOMINATIONS ***

***************************************************************************************************
2015 IFAAMAS Award for Influential Papers in Autonomous Agents and
Multiagent Systems
***************************************************************************************************

DUE DATE: 8 MARCH 2015

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-2015 in Istanbul, 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 April 2005 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 (200 words or fewer) arguing the
significance of the paper to Les Gasser (chair of the 2015 committee
for this award), gasser at illinois.edu

(Please put NOMINATION in the subject line.)

Nominations are due by the 8th of March 2014.
