Posthumous notice by JS, December 2009: Ray Solomonoff intended to deliver an invited lecture at the upcoming AGI 2010, the Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (March 5-8 2010) in Lugano. The AGI conference series would not even exist without his essential theoretical contributions. With great sadness AGI 2010 will be held "In Memoriam Ray Solomonoff." Ray will live on in the many minds shaped by his revolutionary ideas.
