With the untimely passing of Professor Alessandro D'Atri in April 2011,
the information systems community lost an important figure. Professor
D'Atri was a highly accomplished scholar, an innovative educator, and an
inspirational leader.As a scholar, he made significant contributions to
many diverse areas of information technology, ranging from computational
complexity and graph algorithms, to database theory and database user
interfaces, to virtual enterprises, business organization and
e-commerce.As a career educator, Professor D'Atri held teaching
positions at half a dozen universities, where he taught a great variety
of courses to students at all levels, and has nurtured an impressive
number of young scholars.Among his many accomplishments as a leader,
Professor D'Atri founded the enterprising CeRSI Research Centre for
Information Systems Research in LUISS University in Rome, he was the
founder of ItAIS, the Italian Chapter of the International Association
for Information Systems, and he served as a permanent consultant to the
Italian Ministry of Research and Universities.
