Subject: In Memoriam: Michael Dertouzos


OASIS Members:
Professor Michael L. Dertouzos, director of the MIT Laboratory for
Computer Science (LCS) since 1974, died on 27 August 2001, in Boston,
Massachusetts, USA. Born in Athens, Greece, author of eight books, and
widely admired for bringing his humanity to computing, Dertouzos was 64.
Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director, credits Prof. Dertouzos with the W3C's
existence, and has written a personal tribute
http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/2001/MLD.

The Dertouzos family would appreciate expressions of sympathy in his
memory be sent to the Athens College Trustees of Greece, 342 Madison
Ave, New York, NY 10173. The funeral will be held on Tuesday, 4
September in Athens, Greece. It is likely that MIT will hold a Memorial
event later in the year.

OASIS joins the W3C Team in expressing our condolences to Michael's
family.
