>> It is with great sadness that we report the death of our colleague Jon Bing,
>> who passed away on January 14 following  prolonged periods of illness.
>>  
>> At the time of his death, preparation of a festschrift was nearing
>> completion, edited by two of Jon's Oslo colleagues (Dag Wise Schartum and Lee
>> Bygrave). The volume was to have marked the occasion of Jon's 70th birthday,
>> in the spring of this year.  The editors have decided to continue with the
>> planned volume. The book will give a clear account of Jon's pioneering
>> contribution to the field of Information Technology and Law -- of which his
>> papers on AI and Law were just one part -- in addition to showing the breadth
>> of his work as a writer of fiction, and as a leading figure in the cultural
>> and intellectual life of Norway. It will also contain personal reminiscences
>> from a number of people who were privileged to have worked with Jon, and to
>> have benefited from his openness to the interdisciplinary, and from his great
>> generosity of spirit.
>>  
>> In the meantime, we are pleased to provide links to two short papers by Jon
>> Bing, which provide a glimpse of his extraordinary interests and talents.
>> One, entitled "The Riddle of the Robots
>> <http://www.jiclt.com/index.php/jiclt/article/download/57/56> ," draws upon
>> his experience as a science fiction writer.   The other, entitled "Computers
>> and Law: Some Beginnings
>> <http://what.csc.villanova.edu/~cassel/2500/S2008/Law4.pdf> ," draws upon his
>> experience as one of the pioneers in this field.
