Visiting UMIACS Professor Elected ACM Fellow

A visiting professor in the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS) is being recognized for her contributions to advancing artificial intelligence.

Sarit Kraus, a visiting professor in UMIACS and a professor of computer science at Bar-Ilan University, has been named to the 2014 class of Fellows of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). She is one of 47 ACM members being honored this year, which also includes UMIACS professor Aravind Srinivasan.

ACM specifically recognized Kraus for her “contributions to artificial intelligence, including multi-agent systems, human-agent interaction, and non-monotonic reasoning.”

Kraus will be honored in June at ACM’s annual awards banquet in San Francisco, Calif.
