Amir Pnueli was one of the most influential computer scientists of our 
time. He published more than 250 papers, many of them groundbreaking, 
including the 1977 paper, "The Temporal Logic of Programs," for which he 
won the 1996 ACM Turing Award.  On November 2, 2009, Amir unexpectedly 
passed away. His loss is felt deeply by friends and colleagues around the 
world.

The Amir Pnueli Memorial Symposium is an opportunity for the computer 
science community to remember Amir by revisiting the ideas and challenges 
which inspired and defined his life's work.  It will feature talks by a 
select group of internationally acclaimed researchers, including 
colleagues and former students of Amir.

The symposium will take place at New York University on May 7-9, 2010.
It is open to all who wish to attend.  For more information and to
