*** Call for Nominations ***

2009 IFAAMAS Award for Influential Papers in Agents and Multiagent Systems

The International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems 
has established an award to recognize publications that have made 
influential and long-lasting contributions to the field. 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 is 
appended below.

This award is presented annually at the AAMAS Conference, in this case 
AAMAS-09 in Budapest 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 1999 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 Michael Wellman (chair of the 2009 award cmte), 
wellman@umich.edu.

Nominations are due by 4 February 2009.

2009 Influential Paper Award Committee: Michael Wellman (chair), Sarit
