With deep sorrow I inform the scientific community that Marco Cadoli
(http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/~cadoli/) has passed away on November 21,
2006, after a long battle with cancer. He leaves his beloved wife
Laura and little sons Andrea and Riccardo.
Marco was a brilliant researcher, a wonderful person, and an
invaluable friend. The DB&KR group at University of Rome ``La
Sapienza'' will be forever proud to have had him as one of its
member.

Dear Maurizio,
I was deeply saddened to learn that Marco died yesterday. I looked at
his web page and again saw this young, intelligent and handsome man
whose work I admired. I looked over his vitae and was again impressed
by the research he contributed to the database and logic-based
computing community. I also found that he was a deeply religious
person which, I trust, was a comfort to him and his family.
As you say, he was, indeed a brilliant researcher, a wonderful person
and an invaluable friend. I hope that the logic programming community
at its next international meeting will, at the least, have a moment of
silence in memory of Marco.
Please give my condolences to Marco's family and to your colleagues
who had the pleasure of working with this wonderful person. My
condolences also to you with whom he wrote outstanding papers and with whom
you were a friend.
It is a deep loss to the entire DB and LP scientific community to lose
this decent person and outstanding researcher.
Sadly,
Jack
