Domnul Profesor Ion Văduva are contributii importante in dezvoltarea informaticii din Romania, fiind un militant activ in promovarea implementarii diverselor proiecte si programe privind informatica. A promovat studierea diverselor discipline ale informaticii ce erau importante pe plan international. In domeniul cercetarii a elaborat si coordonat foarte multe contracte de informatica aplicata. Este respectat si iubit de studentii informaticieni de la Facultatea de Matematica si Informatica din Bucuresti. Pentru doctoranzii pe care ii coordona si pentru colaboratorii de la seminariile stiintifice, era o bucurie sa constate ca primeau ajutorul concret in cercetarea pe care o desfasurau.

Personal, îi sunt recunoscator domnului Profesor pentru urmatoarele:
-ca student si apoi ca cercetator la CCUB (Centrul de Calcul al Universitatii Bucuresti) m-a sprijinit si incurajat mereu, a avut incredere in mine
- in anul 1984 mi-a recomandat ca domeniu de cercetare si de doctorat, Inteligenta Artificiala (1981-1990 in Japonia era in desfasurare proiectul japonez privind generatia a V-a de calculatoare: sisteme inteligente)
- in anul 2003, m-a sprijinit si mi-a acordat incredere pentru initierea si organizarea primei editii a CNIV (Conferinta Nationala de Invatamant Virtual): VIRTUAL LEARNING - SOFTWARE EDUCATIONAL.
