[Sebastian Stein]

2017 IFAAMAS AWARD FOR INFLUENTIAL PAPERS IN AUTONOMOUS AGENTS AND
MULTIAGENT SYSTEMS

In 2006 the International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and
Multiagent 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 appears at
http://www.aamas-conference.org/award-influential.html.

This award is presented annually at the AAMAS Conference, in this case
AAMAS-2017 in Sao Paolo, Brazil, in May. Winning papers must have been
published at least 10 years before the award presentation. Therefore,
papers eligible for the 2017 award must have been published in April
2007 or earlier, in a 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 Liz Sonenberg (chair of the 2017
committee for this award), l.sonenberg at unimelb.edu.au (Please put
NOMINATION in the subject line.)

Nominations are due by the 8th of March 2017.
