Dear UAI list members, Some of us knew that Professor Philippe Smets had been suffering from a serious illness for some time. Unfortunately, Philippe passed away Monday night November 14, at home with his family around.
Philippe Smets will be remembered by many of us not only as an outstanding researcher and one of the main contributors to the theory of belief functions, but as a very good friend with exceptional human qualities. The uncertainty community will feel very deeply his loss. You can send sympathy messages via his secretary Muriel Decreton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). --------- Prof. Thierry DENOEUX Universite de Technologie de Compiegne U.M.R.
