Obituary
Dr. Mohamed Sadek Eid 1938–2012
It is with a great sense of loss that I convey the news of the passing of Dr. Mohamed Sadek Eid on August 1, 2012. Mohamed Sadek was a very good friend and a strong supporter of Computers and Industrial Engineering, where he served as area editor. Mohamed Sadek was born in Egypt in 1938 and received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Cairo University in 1961, with a focus on Production Engineering. He won a scholarship to continue his education in the United States, where he earned a Master of Engineering from Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire in 1967, a degree in Industrial Engineering from Columbia University in 1973 and a Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering at Oklahoma State University in 1974. His career involved teaching at Cairo University, Université de Moncton, Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada and the American University in Cairo, Egypt. He was the first Industrial Engineering professor to join Université de Moncton; and while there, he took the Engineering unit from being a department within the Faculty of Science, to becoming an independent School of Engineering, He also worked at the National Institute of Planning and Mobil Oil Corporation, both in Cairo, Egypt, and the Chemical Bank in New York.

Mohamed Sadek strongly believed in the value of education and dedicated his life to promoting it. He worked tirelessly with students, and helped young faculty members advance their careers. Some of his students became renowned university faculty and administrators on their own. He distinguished himself by helping to steer the journal in the global direction, become truly international, not the least through active participation in and organization of the series of conferences entitled, ‘‘International Conference on Computers & Industrial Engineering’’, and maintaining its web-site. The participants of these conferences, representing the scores of countries, attest to that. On behalf of the Journal’s Area Editors and Editorial Board, and as a friend of Mohamed Sadek, I extend my deepest sympathy to his friends and family, especially his wife Susan Saleh Eid, his daughters Dr. Soha Eid Moussa and Sally Eid, his son-in-law Dr. Medhat Moussa, and his grandsons Mohamed and Ali Moussa.
