Renato Capocell i May 3, 1940 - April 8, 199 2 Professor Renato Capocelli, chairman of the Computer Science Department of the Universit y of Rome "La Sapienza" and IEEE Fellow, died in April in Rome Italy at the age of 52 . Ilis deat h came as a great shock to all who knew him . Renato established himself in the field of information theory . He published 76 papers abou t various kinds of codes, entropy series, text compression, semigroups, communication over nois y channels and Fibonacci search . Renato contributed significantly to the building of Computer Science in Italy . For eight years he chaired the Department of Computer Science of the University o f Salerno, turning it into one of the best in Italy . He recently moved to Rome, where he founded an d chaired the Computer Science department . Many of us are indebted to Renato for organizing international conferences . Renato loved hi s home in the Campania region and contrived to have those meetings in the gulf of Naples where h e infected one and all with his love for his native region, its food, wine and songs . Sequences89 an d Sequences9l were held in Positano Italy . They served as excellent forum for fruitful exchanges of ideas among scientists from many mathematical disciplines . See Mike Luby's report on Sequences8 9 in SIGACT News 20,1 (Winter 1989), pp . 40-42 and Jim Storer 's report on Sequences9l in SIGAC T News 22,4 (Fall 1991), pp . 20-22 . Renato had planned to organize Sequences93 . We hope to go on and hold it next year in hi s memory. We send condolences to his wife Rita and his two children Maria-Vittoria and Salvatore . Zvi Galil
