In Memoriam: Paris C. Kanellakis
Summary: Memorial noting the unexpected 1995 death of Paris C. Kanellakis and summarizing his career (NTUA, MIT PhD under Papadimitriou; dissertation on the complexity of concurrency control for distributed databases). Highlights his influential, cross‑cutting research in database theory (dependency theory, concurrency control), fault‑tolerant parallel computation, constraint and functional programming, and leadership/service roles (PODS chair, editorial duties).
