(April 16) It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Jay Modi on April 9. He was an outstanding researcher and scholar, and an active and highly valued member of the AAMAS community. A memorial is being planned for AAMAS-2007, and information will be posted here as plans develop.

(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. (more ...)
