Call for nominations for 2027 IFAAMAS Influential Paper Award
The International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (IFAAMAS) in 2007 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 proved influential. A list of previous winners of this award appears at http://www.ifaamas.org/award-influential.html
This award is presented annually at the AAMAS Conference (International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems). This year, AAMAS 2027 will be held in Hanoi, Vietnam, from 3 to 7 May 2027.
Winning papers must have been published at least 10 years before the first day of the conference. Therefore, papers eligible for the 2027 award must have been published earlier than May 2017, and in a recognized scientific forum (e.g., journal, conference, or workshop).
The criteria that will be considered in the selection for the award are:
1. Opened up new research line(s) within and even outside AAMAS
2. Broad impact, e.g. started new fields, new conferences, new journals;
3. Broadly inspired the community
4. Posed and/or solved an issue seen as fundamental to the field.
