Bulletin #6, December 2001EDITORIALFrom an official press release: "The 2001 German Future Prize - the President's Prize for Technology and Innovation- was awarded on 29 November, 2001 to Prof. Wolfgang Wahlster, past Chair of ECCAI, in a ceremony in Berlin attended by some 400 invited guests. The President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Dr. Johannes Rau, presented the German Future Prize to Prof. Wahlster for his work on language technology and intelligent user interfaces. The prize carries a $230,000 personal cash award. The President's prize is awarded each year for outstanding innovations in technology, engineering, or the natural sciences. Proven prospects for practical application, and the creation of new jobs are crucial criteria for the selection of nominees. Prof. Wahlster, director of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence and professor of AI and of Computational Linguistics at Saarland University, is the first computer scientist to receive this prize. In a brief speech, Prof. Wahlster said: "I am glad to have received this high honor now, in the middle of my career, and not at the end of my years of active research. The prize both encourages and obligates me to continue to tackle important open problems in the area of human-computer interaction, to create innovations that will lead to a humane knowledge society, and to inspire and educate young people who can contribute to this fascinating area of computer science. This prize will give a great boost to the rapid dissemination of the results of our research."" Congratulations to Wolfgang from the ECCAI board NEWS from the ECCAI board and the ECCAI web site
