Nominations are solicited for the 2027 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 2027 conference.
How to nominate
Anyone can make a nomination. Nominations should be made by filling out this 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!
