The President of the ACM for 2012 – 2014 is Vint Cerf, an American computer scientist, who is recognized as one of " the fathers of the Internet ".

Bjarne Stroustrup (); born December 30, 1950 in Århus, Denmark ) is a Danish computer scientist, most notable for the creation and the development of the widely used C ++ programming language.

Brian Wilson Kernighan (; born 1942 ) is a Canadian computer scientist who worked at Bell Labs alongside Unix creators Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie and contributed to the development of Unix.

The term programmer can be used to refer to a software developer, software engineer, computer scientist, or software analyst.

A computer scientist specialises in the theory of computation and the design of computers or computational systems.

One of the most influential contributions to this question was an essay written in 1950 by pioneering computer scientist Alan Turing, titled Computing Machinery and Intelligence.

A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction ( 1977 ) described a practical architectural system in a form that a theoretical mathematician or computer scientist might call a generative grammar.

We accomplish this by compiling a list of text forms as text is read by the computer.

A location in the computer store is also named for each marked form ; ;

For this step the computer memory is separated into three regions: cells in the W-region are used for storage of the forms in the text-form list ; ;

It appears in a form that is admirably suited to the powers of the digital computer.

The set of equations ( 5 ), ( 6 ), and the starting equation ( 7 ) is of a recursive type well suited to programming on the digital computer.

This is not wholly a reasoning process -- a computer cannot do it all -- and even in an Angel it takes time.

The albedo is an important concept in climatology and astronomy, as well as in calculating reflectivity of surfaces in LEED sustainable rating systems for buildings, computer graphics and computer vision.

The effect is sensitive to subtle cues such as people being more helpful when there were stylized eyespots instead of a logo on a computer screen.

This type of presentation is usually accomplished with a camera and a projector or a computer viewing screen which can rapidly cycle through images in a sequence.

A new computer program is used to create the most comfortable and useful prosthetics.

It is worth mentioning that the Nepōhualtzintzin amounted to the rank from 10 to the 18 in floating point, which calculated stellar as well as infinitesimal amounts with absolute precision, meant that no round off was allowed, when translated into modern computer arithmetic.

With the development of fast Internet in the last part of the 20th century along with advances in computer controlled telescope mounts and CCD cameras ' Remote Telescope ' astronomy is now a viable means for amateur astronomers not aligned with major telescope facilities to partake in research and deep sky imaging.

In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm ( originating from al-Khwārizmī, the famous Persian mathematician Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī ) is a step-by-step procedure for calculations.

In computer systems, an algorithm is basically an instance of logic written in software by software developers to be effective for the intended " target " computer ( s ), in order for the target machines to produce output from given input ( perhaps null ).

Computers ( and computors ), models of computation: A computer ( or human " computor ") is a restricted type of machine, a " discrete deterministic mechanical device " that blindly follows its instructions.

Simulation of an algorithm: computer ( computor ) language: Knuth advises the reader that " the best way to learn an algorithm is to try it.

This means that the programmer must know a " language " that is effective relative to the target computing agent ( computer / computor ).

Written in prose but much closer to the high-level language of a computer program, the following is the more formal coding of the algorithm in pseudocode or pidgin code:

* Static code analysis – the analysis of computer software that is performed without actually executing programs built from that

Turing is widely considered to be the father of computer science and artificial intelligence.

In the field of computer graphics, an anisotropic surface will change in appearance as it is rotated about its geometric normal, as is the case with velvet.

The modern computer programming language Ada is named in her honour.
