Short laudatio by Mogens Nielsen#


1. Research leadership. GW is responsible for many of the deepest results in semantics of computation, eg: Information systems, invented independently by Dana Scott and GW, are a central tool in domain theory; Event structures, of which GW is the main developer, are established as a fundamental model of computation, and a listed topic of international conferences such as CONCUR; the occurrence-net unfolding of Petri nets (with Nielsen & Plotkin), is the basis of seminal work on model checking; Morphisms for models for concurrency - the basis of the influential open-maps approach to bisimulation, and his ERC project. 2. Founding director and continuing director of the research centre BRICS, 1993-2000. 3. Organization: He has chaired several international conferences and workshops eg LICS'97, ICALP'98, Summer School on Semantics 1999, Fields Institute workshop on Causality in Physics & CS 2003. He is on the editorial board of several journals and book series, and on the organizing & advisory committees of many academic bodies, incl. LICS. 4. Dissemination and education: invited speaker for numerous international meetings; supervised 17 PhD students with subsequent careers ranging from academia (several are professors, in DK, Australia, Malta and US---one is university rector) to computer scientists in industry (several with their own companies, one the senior IT adviser of a leading Danish bank).
