[DMANET] 1st Call for Nominations: ACM SIGAI Autonomous Agents Research Award 2021

[Apologies for multiple postings, please pass on to interested people!]

Nominations are solicited for the 2021 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 2021 conference in London, United Kingdom.

Anyone can make a nomination. Nominations should be made by email to the
chair of the award
committee, Stacy Marsella (stacymarsella@gmail.com), 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.
