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.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=ZG1hbmV0CQkJZG1hbmV0QHpwci51bmkta29lbG4uZGUJQUFNQVMgMjAyNjogRmlyc3QgQ2FsbCBmb3IgTm9taW5hdGlvbnMgZm9yIHRoZSAyMDI2IElGQUFNQVMgSW5mbHVlbnRpYWwgUGFwZXIgQXdhcmQJMzg1CUdvb2dsZV9MaXN0cwkxNzUJY2xpY2sJeWVzCW5v&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ifaamas.org%2Faward-influential.html .
This award is presented annually at the AAMAS Conference.
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).
The criteria that will be considered in the selection for the award are:
1. Opened up new research line(s) within and even outside AAMAS;
2. Broad impact, e.g. started new fields, new conferences, new journals;
3. Broadly inspired the community;
4. Posed and/or solved an issue seen as fundamental to the field.
To nominate a publication for this award, please send by October 31, 2025 the full
reference plus a brief statement (200 words or fewer) arguing for the significance of the paper to the chair of the 2026 IFAAMAS Influential Paper Award committee, Maria Gini (gini@umn.edu).
