Award for Influential Agent and Multi-Agent System Papers

["Huhns, Michael" <huhns@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

As announced earlier on this list, the International Foundation for
Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems has set up an influential
paper award to recognize publications that have made seminal
contributions to the field. Such papers represent the best and most
influential work in our field. These papers might, therefore, have
proved a key result, led to the development of a new sub-field,
demonstrated a significant new application or system, or simply
presented a new way of thinking about a topic that has proved
influential.

I am pleased to announce that the inaugural winners of this award are:

Cohen, P. R. and Levesque, H.
"Intention is choice with commitment"
Artificial Intelligence, Volume 42, Issue 2-3 (1990)

Davis, R. and Smith, R. (1983).=20
Negotiation as a Metaphor for Distributed Problem Solving,
In: Artificial Intelligence 20, pp. 63-109.


The award was open to any paper that was published at least 10 years
before
the relevant AAMAS takes place. The inaugural award will be announced at
AAMAS 2006 and thus we considered any paper that is published in 1996
or before. The paper can have been published in any journal, conference,
or workshop.
