Best Paper Award at AAMAS-2016

During the 15th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS-2016), held in Singapore in early May, a paper coauthored by Ulle Endriss (ILLC) was honoured with the Best Paper Award.

The paper, written together with Stéphane Airiau, Elise Bonzon, Nicolas Maudet, and Julien Rossit (all based in Paris), and entitled "Rationalisation of Profiles of Abstract Argumentation Frameworks", establishes a novel connection between, on the one hand, abstract argumentation as studied in artificial intelligence and, on the other, computational social choice. AAMAS is the premier international conference in the field of multiagent systems and in 2016 received a total of 550 paper submissions. One of the three runner-ups for the award was a paper coauthored by Master of Logic graduate Christian Geist (Munich).
