A Tale of Formal Methods, Organic Computing, and Intelligent Robotics — The Scientific Life of Wolfgang Reif
摘要
On the occasion of Wolfgang Reif’s 65th birthday, we offer an outline of Wolfgang’s remarkable scientific achievements. Beginning with his work on formal methods and, in particular, on the interactive theorem prover KIV, we look at his major results in the areas of security and safety, self-organizing systems, robotics, and AI methods. Additionally, we briefly discuss his impact on the research community and on academic study programmes. We conclude with our heartfelt thanks to him.
