At AAMAS 2025, the 24th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems held in Detroit from May 19-23, 2025, LogiCS student Francesco Pontiggia was awarded the Pragnesh Jay Modi Best Student Paper Award for the paper “Decentralized Planning Using Probabilistic Hyperproperties”, which he co-authored with Filip Macák, Roman Andriushchenko, Michele Chiari, and Milan Ceska.

The paper introduces a novel framework for multi-agent planning under uncertainty. By leveraging probabilistic hyperproperties and model-checking techniques, the authors propose a more flexible and expressive method for decentralized decision-making — with important implications for the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics.

Congratulations!
