Obituary for Maurice Nivat

A terrible loss for the theoretical computer science Community

Maurice Nivat, professor of theoretical computer science at the University of Paris VII 'Denis Diderot', left us on September 21 at the age of 79 after fiercely fighting for more than one year against a terrible illness. The role of Maurice in our field has been overwhelming. First of all he has been a great scientist who contributed fundamental research work in a variety of fields ranging from formal languages and automata theory to semantics and, more recently, to tilings and discrete geometry. His rigorous and deep algebraic approach, inherited from his mentor Marcel-Paul Schutzenberger, has permeated for long time the French school of theory of computing. In his academic activity he raised an incredible series of brilliant computer scientists who are now among the most prominent researchers in their domain.
