Summary In a reprise of her ACM Turing Award lecture, Barbara Liskov discusses the invention of abstract data types, the CLU programming language, clusters, polymorphism, exception handling, iterators, implementation inheritance, type hierarchies, the Liskov Substitution Principle, polymorphism, and future challenges such as new abstractions, parallelism, and the Internet. Bio Barbara Liskov is...

Summary This presentation explores how Erlang addresses the general problem of concurrent, real-time, fault-tolerant, and distributed parallel computing. The author argues that changes in the world of hardware and the complexity of the programs we write assure that sequential programs will decline in performance but parallel programs will increase performance. Bio Joe Armstrong is the principle...
