The ACM A. M. Turing Award is an annual prize given by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) for contributions of lasting and major technical importance to computer science. [2] It is generally recognized as the highest distinction in the field of computer science and is often referred to as the "Nobel Prize of Computing". [3] [4] [5]
The top computer science award is the ACM Turing Award, generally regarded as the Nobel Prize equivalent for Computer Science. [1] Other highly regarded top computer science awards include IEEE John von Neumann Medal awarded by the IEEE Board of Directors, and the Japan Kyoto Prize for Information Science.
Frances Elizabeth Allen (August 4, 1932 – August 4, 2020) [2] [3] was an American computer scientist and pioneer in the field of optimizing compilers. [4] [5] [6] Allen was the first woman to become an IBM Fellow, and in 2006 became the first woman to win the Turing Award. [7]
This important technique was the subject of Kenneth McMillan's Ph.D. thesis, which received an ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award. In addition, his research group developed the first parallel resolution theorem prover (Parthenon) and a theorem prover based on a symbolic computation system (Analytica). [ 5 ]
Richard Edwin Stearns (born July 5, 1936) is an American computer scientist who, with Juris Hartmanis, received the 1993 ACM Turing Award "in recognition of their seminal paper which established the foundations for the field of computational complexity theory". [1] In 1994 he was inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery.
In April 2021, an open letter [15] by CSForInclusion criticized the ACM and the ACM A.M. Turing Award Committee for nominating and selecting Ullman as the recipient of the ACM A.M. Turing award. ACM reconfirmed its commitments to inclusion and diversity in a response [16] to the letter.
