The Institute for Computer Engineering (ZITI) mourns the loss of former colleague Prof. Dr. Dr. hc. Norbert Joachim Fliege, who passed away at the beginning of February at the age of 81. Prof. Fliege helped to establish the newly founded Institute of Computer Engineering at the University of Mannheim after his appointment in 1996 and very successfully headed the Chair of Electrical Engineering there. Among other things, he developed methods for secure data communication in power grids. After his retirement in 2008, he devoted himself to a start-up he founded. We greatly appreciated Prof. Fliege as a highly committed, reliable and always helpful colleague. We all still remember his fine sense of humor. We will always honor his memory.
