[Nettime-bold] 2001 Turing Award |
From: "Gary Chapman" <gary.chapman@mail.utexas.edu> Dear friends, I'm happy to pass on the news that the 2001 Turing Award, the highest award in computer science, has been awarded to Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard of Norway, for their invention of object-oriented programming, the most widely used programming paradigm in the world today. The formal citation of the award is on the Web at http://www.acm.org/announcements/turing_2001.html. The Association for Computing Machinery will present the A.M. Turing Award, its most prestigious technical honor, at the annual ACM Awards Banquet on April 27, 2002, at the University of Toronto in Canada. It has been my privilege and honor to serve on the selection committee for the Turing Award, in a group of five people, and I am particularly pleased by this year's award. Congratulations, Kristen! Best to all, -- Gary Gary Chapman LBJ School of Public Affairs University of Texas at Austin Austin, TX gary.chapman@mail.utexas.edu _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://amsterdam.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
