ACM celebrated 50 years of the A.M. Turing Award with a two-day conference June 23 - 24 at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco. This milestone event was designed to highlight the significant impact of the contributions of the Turing Laureates on computing and society, to look ahead to the future of technology and innovation, and to help inspire the next generation of computer scientists to invent and dream. Talks and panel discussions from the conference were livestreamed on ACM's website and on Facebook. You can view these videos on-demand below.
Introduction to 50 Years of the ACM Turing Award Celebration
ACM President Vicki Hanson, Conference Chair Craig Partridge, and Dame Wendy Hall give introductory remarks at ACM’s Celebration of 50 Years of the A.M. Turing Award. Computing visionaries from the last half century, including 22 ACM Turing Award recipients, participated in this two-day conference at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco June 23 – 24, 2017. The event celebrated the first 50 years of the ACM Turing Award and the visionaries who have received it, and reflected on the evolution of computing and explore where the field is headed.
"Impact of Turing Recipients' Work"
2008 Turing Award recipient Barbara Liskov discusses the enduring Impact of ACM Turing Recipients' Work. Liskov focuses specifically on the foundational contributions of the first decade of Turing laureates, and demonstrates how their collective work and accomplishments brings the field of computer science itself into view.
