Frits Vaandrager
Preface
WearehappytopresentthisFestschrift,writtenfortheoccasionofthe60thbirthdayof
Frits Vaandrager.
We all know Frits as a highly passionate researcher: He can immerse himself in a
new idea and then forget everything around him. During his career, Frits focused on
several scientific passions:
– In the early days, as a PhD student of Jan Bergstra at the Centre for Mathematics
andComputerScienceinAmsterdam,Fritsworkedintheareaof processalgebras.
Together with his office mate Rob van Glabbeek and colleague Jan Friso Groote
they hammered down several fundamental papers on concurrency theory and
operational semantics.
– After his PhD, he flew to MIT, working as a postdoc with Nancy Lynch on his
second passion: I/O automata.
– After a short stay in France, he returned to the Netherlands, first working in
Amsterdam. Finally, he became a professor in Nijmegen, working on model
checking of timed automata, contributing to the famous model checker Uppaal.
– Then, a bit more than a decade ago, Frits switched to the area of model learning,
being one of the area’s founding fathers.
We are sure that his scientific journey does not end here—Frits is always open to
researchcollaborationinhisownresearchfieldsandsometimestakesastepsomewhere
else:mostastoundingly,hehasapublicationonpolymers.Further,hispassiondoesnot
only lead to theoretical results. Frits also has stunning success with industrial appli-
cations, applying model learning to the TCP protocol and Dutch biometric passports,
model checking the very complex machines at ASML’s wafer steppers, the data paths
of industrial printers at Canon, and many more.
The Festschrift contains contributions of (former) colleagues, PhD students, and
researchersFritscollaboratedwith.ThepapersexemplifytherainbowofFrits’research
interests and show the great appreciation Frits receives in the scientific community.
As part of our work on the volume, we organized a review process that involved a
program committee consisting of all contributing authors.
We thank Frits for inspiring all of us and congratulate him on his 60th birthday!
