The selection committee for the ACM/SIGART Autonomous Agents   
   Research Award is pleased to announce that Dr. Michael   
   Wooldridge of the University of Liverpool, UK is the   
   recipient of the 2006 award.   
      
   Dr. Wooldridge has made significant and sustained   
   contributions to the research on autonomous agents and multi   
   agent systems. In particular, Dr. Wooldridge has made   
   seminal contributions to the logical foundations of   
   multi-agent systems, especially to formal theories of   
   cooperation, teamwork and communication., computational   
   complexity in multi-agent systems, and agent-oriented   
   software engineering.   
      
   In addition to his substantial research contributions,   
   Dr. Wooldridge has served the autonomous agents research   
   community, in a variety of ways including founding of the   
   AgentLink Network of Excellence in 1997 and most recently as   
   the Technical Program co-chair of the Fourth International   
   Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi Agent Systems   
   (AAMAS2005).
