André van Hoorn has passed away
We regret to announce the passing of André van Hoorn on June 8th, 2024, following a serious illness.
André was a valuable group member for years as a PostDoc and interim professor between 2015 and 2017. Since 2021, he worked at the University of Hamburg as a senior lecturer and later as a professor.
His main research focused on the quantitative analysis of performance and other quality criteria in complex and distributed software systems. He was a highly valued member of the national and international communities on software performance, software engineering, and software architecture. In particular, he was a member of the steering committees of SPEC research and the ICPE conference and was regularly engaged with ICSA, ECSA, and other conferences.
An online book of condolences has also been set up: https://recocards.com/board/c-andr--86632755206.
To support André's family, a donation campaign has been set up at spende.vhoorn.de. Any contribution is highly appreciated. Thank you. (While the website is in German only, international contributions are possible and welcome via PayPal or credit card.)
We will miss not only his excellent research but also his great humor and never-ending good mood.
