From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is list of researchers of programming language theory, design, implementation, and related areas.

A

  • Martín Abadi, for the programming language Baby Modula-3 and his book (with Luca Cardelli) A Theory of Objects
  • Samson Abramsky, contributions to the areas of the lazy lambda calculus and concurrency theory and co-editing the 6 Volume Handbook of Logic in Computer Science
  • Jean-Raymond Abrial, father of the Z notation and the B-Method, targeted at the clear specification and refinement of computer programs and computer-based systems in general
  • Vikram Adve, the 2012 ACM Software System Award for LLVM, a set of compiler and toolchain technologies
  • Gul Agha, elected as an ACM Fellow in 2018 for research in concurrent programming and formal methods, specifically the Actor Model
  • Alfred Aho, the A of AWK, 2020 Turing Award for fundamental algorithms and theory underlying programming language implementation and for synthesizing these results ...highly influential books ...
  • Frances Allen, the 2006 Turing Award for pioneering contributions to the theory and practice of optimizing compiler techniques ...
  • Andrew Appel, especially well-known because of his compiler books, the Modern Compiler Implementation in ML (ISBN 0-521-58274-1) series, as well as Compiling With Continuations (ISBN 0-521-41695-7)
  • Krzysztof R. Apt, the use of logic as a programming language
  • Bruce Arden, co-authored two compilers, GAT[1] for the IBM 650 and MAD
  • Arvind, see Arvind Mithal
  • Lennart Augustsson, languages (Lazy ML, Cayenne), compilers (HBC Haskell, parallel Haskell front end, Bluespec SystemVerilog early)

  • Jeffrey Ullman, the 2020 Turing Award for fundamental algorithms and theory underlying programming language implementation and for synthesizing these results, highly influential books.
  • David Ungar, the 2009 AITO Dahl–Nygaard Prize, his work on Self has had a profound effect on the field by introducing the advanced adaptive compiling technology that made the widespread industrial use of Java possible
