I regret to announce that the IJCAI-87 Awards Committee, having considered all the candidates nominated for the Research Excellence Award, have decided not to make an award. The Award is given in recognition of an Artificial Intelligence scientist who has carried out a program of research of consistently high quality yielding several substantial results. The first recipient of this award was John McCarthy in 1985.

THE 1987 IJCAI AWARD FOR RESEARCH EXCELLENCE I regret to announce that the IJCAI-87 Awards Committee, having considered all the candidates nominated for the Research Excellence Award, have decided not to make an award. The Award is given in recognition of an Artificial Intelligence scientist who has carried out a program of research of consistently high quality yielding several substantial results. The first recipient of this award was John McCarthy in 1985. In the opinion of the Awards Committee none of the nominated candidates reached the high standard required. Several members of the Committee afterwards suggested candidates that, in their opinion, did reach the required standard, but who had not been nominated. Nominations for the Award were invited from all in the artificial intelligence international community. The Award Committee was the union of the Programme, Conference and Advisory Committees of IJCAI-87 and the Board of Trustees of IJCAII, with nominees excluded. It is the sincere hope of all the Committee that, in future years, a greater effort will be made by the artificial intelligence community to nominate suitable candidates.
