The ACM SIGART Autonomous Agents Research Award
The 2008 ACM SIGART Autonomous Agents Research Award recipient is Yoav Shoham .
Yoav Shoham is Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University , where he has been since receiving his PhD in Computer Science from Yale University in 1987 and spending an abbreviated post-doctoral position at the Weizmann Institute of Science. He has worked in various areas of AI, including temporal reasoning, nonmonotonic logics and theories of commonsense. Shoham's interest in recent years has been multiagent systems, and in particular the interaction between computer science and game theory. Shoham is a Fellow of the Association for Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), and charter member of the International Game Theory Society. He is an author of four books, an editor of one, and an author of numerous articles. He is also a founder of several successful e-commerce software companies.
He will be presenting a plenary talk entitled Computer Science and Game Theory
Abstract:
Game theory has been playing an increasingly visible role in computer science,
in areas as diverse as artificial intelligence, theory, distributed systems, and other areas.
I take stock of where most of the action has been in the past decade or so, and suggest
that going forward, the most dramatic interaction between computer science and game theory could be
around what might be called game theory pragmatics.
