The International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, IFAAMAS, established an award in 2006 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.ifaamas.org/award-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 2022 award must have been published earlier than July 2012 , and in a recognized scientific forum (e.g., journal, conference, or workshop).

To nominate a publication for this award, please send the full reference plus a brief statement (200 words or fewer) arguing for the significance of the paper to chair of the 2022 IFAAMAS Influential Paper Award committee, Wiebe van der Hoek (wiebe@csc.liv.ac.uk).
