In memoriam of Prof. Dr. Ingo Wegener, 1950—2008

Ingo Wegener passed away on November 26, 2008, after a three-year struggle with brain cancer. A farewell celebration was held in Bielefeld on December 4, the day on which Ingo would have turned 58. This is a tremendous loss for all those who knew him personally, for Computer Science in Germany, in Europe, and in the world at large, and for many other communities in which he played a prominent role. Ingo is survived by his wife, Christa.
