Jeffrey S. Rosenschein<\/span><\/span><\/strong> and Gilad Zlotkin<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, This book helped define the field of multi-agent systems by introducing and promoting the application of game theory and mechanism design for creating interaction protocols among agents. Prior to this work, much of the research in distributed AI assumed agents shared a common goal and were fully collaborative. The book advocates a rigorous mathematical foundation for analyzing interactions among self-interested agents.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_2″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n A collection of three influential papers:<\/p>\n Amy Greenwald<\/span><\/span><\/strong> and Keith Hall<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, Junling Hu<\/span><\/span><\/strong> and Michael Wellman<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, Amy Greenwald<\/span><\/span><\/strong> and Amir Jafari<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Chair:<\/strong> Maria Gini<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Members:<\/strong> Kate Larson<\/span><\/span>, Juan Antonio Rodriguez Aguilar<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ header_3_text_color=”#6c6866″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (IFAAMAS) in 2006 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<\/a><\/p>\n This award is presented annually at the AAMAS Conference.<\/p>\n Winning papers must have been published at least 10 years before the first day of the conference. Therefore, papers eligible for the 2026 award must have been published earlier than May 2016, and in a recognized scientific forum (e.g., journal, conference, or workshop).<\/p>\n The criteria that will be considered in the selection for the award are:<\/p>\n
