In Memoriam: RAYMOND REITER Much of this memoriam is taken from unpublished remarks I made on introducing Ray Reiter on the occasion of his receiving the Research Excellence Award at the 1993 International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-93). To gain a better perspective of Ray as a person, I solicited comments from some of his former students: Dave Etherington, and Iluju Kiringa; from his colleagues: Hector Levesque, Fiora Pirri, and Richard Rosenberg; from his friend Avis Lang; and from his brother, Jack Reiter. A color photograph of Raymond Reiter can be found on the World Wide Web at: http://prism.cs.umd.edu/papers/Min02:reiter_memoriam/Min02:reiter_memoriam.html June 12, 1939 – September 16, 2002
