José Mira: in memoriam



On August 13th, 2008, Spanish engineer José Mira died in Madrid. Specialists in Artificial Intelligence and others will remember Mira as a sharp thinker and a nice person, whose interests and expertise ranged from theoretical and applied Artificial Intelligence to Cognitive Science. Professor Mira did much to establish in 1989 the Department of Artificial Intelligence at UNED. Mira' s research contributions were focused on methodological aspects in Knowledge Engineering and the connections between Neuroscience and Computation. From an applied perspective he worked about Knowledge Systems in Medicine and Industry. Definitely, Mira has been one of the principal influences on AI in Spain and Latin America: his death feels like losing a decisive influence.
