Missing Microsoft researcher Jim Gray will be honored at a daylong event at the University of California at Berkeley on May 31. Gray, who disappeared Jan. 28, 2007 while sailing on his boat, has been the subject of an extensive search, but one that has thus far turned up few promising leads.
Jim Gray "It is important to note that this is a tribute, not a memorial," Oracle Vice President Mike Olson said in a statement. "Many people in our industry, including me, are deeply indebted to Jim for his intellect, his vision, and his unselfish willingness to be a teacher and a mentor."
