AAMAS 07




May 14-18, 2007
Honolulu, Hawai'i






You are cordially invited
to participate in the 2007 International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems,
to be held May 14-18, 2007 at the Hawaii Convention Center in Honolulu, Hawai'i.


AAMAS is the premier scientific conference for research in autonomous agents and multiagent systems. The AAMAS conference series was initiated in 2002 as a merger of three highly respected individual conferences: the International Conference on Autonomous Agents, the International Workshop on Agent Theories, Architectures, and Languages, and the International Conference on Multi-Agent Systems.

What's New!
(March 20, 2007) Sarit Kraus receives ACM/SIGART Autonomous Agents Research Award 2007

The selection committee for the ACM/SIGART Autonomous Agents Research Award is pleased to announce that Prof Sarit Kraus, of Bar-Ilan University, Israel, is the recipient of the 2007 award. Prof Kraus is well known for her work on formal models of multi-agent systems. In particular, she pioneered the development of techniques for computational negotiation, automated coalition formation, cooperative search, and the logical formalization of cooperation and multi-agent shared plans. She has also made significant and lasting contributions to the wider field of AI, in areas such as search and non-monotonic reasoning.

In addition to her substantial research contributions, Prof Kraus has served the autonomous agents research community in many ways. She was PC chair of the Fourth International Conference on Multi-Agent Systems (ICMAS2000), and general co-chair of the Fourth International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi Agent Systems (AAMAS2005). She has been an associate editor of the AAMAS journal since its founding, and an editor of AI Journal since 2000. Sarit is also an Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at the Institute for Advanced Computer Studies, University of Maryland.

About the award:

ACM SIGART, in collaboration with the International Conference on Autonomous Agents, has instituted an annual award for excellence in research in the area of autonomous agents. Award winners receive an honorarium and are invited to give a talk at the annual Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (AAMAS) Conference. This award is specifically intended to recognize researchers whose current research is influencing the field. Award candidates are evaluated based on the quality and significance of their research contributions over the last five years. It is expected that at least some of these contributions should have been reported at one or more Autonomous Agents or AAMAS conferences. Previous winners of the ACM SIGART Autonomous Research Award were Michael Wooldridge (2006), Milind Tambe (2005), Makoto Yokoo (2004), Nicholas Jennings (2003), Katia Sycara (2002), and Tuomas Sandholm (2001).


(March 13, 2007) The IFAAMAS Board is delighted to announce the winners of the Influential Paper Award for 2007. We received a good number of nominations from the Community this year and it was a difficult choice. Nevertheless we believe we have selected 3 outstanding papers:
