I am honored and grateful to have been selected to join the ranks of ACM
|
||
|
|
Turing Award winners. I probably have spent too much of my life thinking
|
||
|
|
about computers, but I do not regret it a bit. I was fortunate to enter the
|
||
|
|
field of computing in its infancy and participate in its explosive growth.
|
||
|
|
The rapid evolution of the underlying technologies in the past 30 years has
|
||
|
|
not only provided an exciting environment, but has also presented a
|
||
|
|
constant stream of intellectual challenges to those of us trying to harness
|
||
|
|
this power and squeeze it to the last ounce. I hasten to say, especially to
|
||
|
|
the
|
||
|
|
younger members of the audience, there is no end in sight. As a matter of
|
||
|
|
fact, I believe the next thirty years will be even more exciting and rich
|
||
|
|
with challenges.
