    September 8, 2009. Marvin Mandelbaum (York University, Toronto) passed away at age 68. He co-developed (with his M.Sc. supervisor Benajmin Avi-Itzhak) the concept of split and match queues in 1968. he also developed the concept of flexibility of manufacturing systems. Brill and Mandelbaum extended the concepts of flexibility from manufucturing systems to queueing systems. Marvin organized the CanQueue 2003 conference at the Fields Institute in Toronto.
