Congratulations to Shlomo Zilberstein on winning the 2025 ACM/SIGAI Autonomous Agents Research Award. This prestigious 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.

Professor Shlomo Zilberstein was recognised for his work establishing the field of decentralized Markov Decision Processes (DEC-MDPs), laying the groundwork for decision-theoretic planning in multi-agent systems and multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL). The selection committee noted that these contributions have become a cornerstone of multi-agent decision-making, influencing researchers and practitioners alike.

Shlomo Zilberstein is Professor of Computer Science and former Associate Dean of Research at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He is a Fellow of AAAI and the ACM, and has received numerous awards, including the UMass Chancellor’s Medal, the IFAAMAS Influential Paper Award, and the AAAI Distinguished Service Award.
