Wojciech Gasparski - a Man of Scientific Practice

This paper presents a selective overview of scientific achievements of Professor Wojciech Gasparski as perceived from the personal perspective of the author. Special attention is paid to Professor's contributions to design methodology, general systems theory and business ethics. The counterpoint to the main thread of the presentation consists in the problem of action planning by an intelligent robot and a reference to roboethics. The paper has been written to honour W. Gasparski's 70th birthday anniversary.
