Bulletin #3, July2005EditorialUnfortunately this ECCAI bulletin has to report about very sad news.We all have been saddened and shocked by the news that Rob Milne died on Mount Everest on Sunday, 5th June 2005. Rob was one of the early pioneers in AI applications. He founded Intelligent Applications Ltd and became successful with his TIGER system. Rob was president of ECCAI from 2000 to 2004. He acted as Local Chair for IJCAI'05 in Edinburgh and he was designated Conference Chair of ECAI'06 in Riva del Garda. Rob was an experienced mountaineer. The Everest was his last challenge after having climbed the highest peaks on each continent. ECCAI has lost a good friend. Werner Horn ECCAI chair PS.
