Call for Nominations: ACM SIGART Autonomous Agents Award 2013

Nominations are solicited for the 2013 ACM SIGART Autonomous Agents Research Award. This award is made for excellence in research in the area of autonomous agents. It is intended to recognize researchers in autonomous agents 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 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.

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. Deadline for nominations: Friday 7 December 2012.
