The International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (IFAAMAS) in 2006 established an award to recognize publications in the field of autonomous agents and multiagent systems 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

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 2024 award must have been published earlier than May 2014, and in a recognized scientific forum (e.g., journal, conference, or workshop).
