[DMANET] Call for Nominations: ACM/SIGAI Autonomous Agents Research Award

[Apologies for Multiple Postings]

Nominations are solicited for the 2024 ACM SIGAI Autonomous Agents Research
Award. This award is made for excellence in research in the area of
autonomous agents. It is intended to recognize researchers in autonomous
agents whose current work is an important influence on the field. The award
is an official ACM award, funded by an endowment created by ACM SIGAI from
the proceeds of previous Autonomous Agents conferences. The recipient of
the award will receive a monetary prize and a certificate, and will be
invited to present a plenary talk at the AAMAS 2024 conference.

How to Nominate

Anyone can make a nomination. Nominations should be made by filling out the
below google form, and should consist of a short (< 1 page) statement that
emphasizes not only the research contributions that the individual has made
that merit the award but also how the individual's current work is an
important influence on the field.

NOTE: a candidate can only be considered for the award if they are
explicitly nominated. If you believe that someone deserves the award, then
NOMINATE THEM — don't assume that somebody else will!

For any questions please contact Manuela Veloso (Award Chair, mmv@cs.cmu.edu)
or Nicholas Mattei (SIGAI Vice Chair, nsmattei@gmail.com).
