Sir Charles Antony Richard Hoare FRS FREng, also known as Tony Hoare or by his initials C. A. R. Hoare (/ h ɔːr /; born 11 January 1934) is a British computer scientist who has made foundational contributions to programming languages, algorithms, operating systems, formal verification, and concurrent computing.
Tony Hoare (born January 11, 1934, Colombo, Sri Lanka) is a British computer scientist and winner of the 1980 A.M. Turing Award, the highest honour in computer science, for “his fundamental contributions to the definition and design of programming languages.”
Tony Hoare is a renowned computer scientist and Turing Award winner who pioneered the use of assertions, specification languages, and concurrent programming. He has worked in academia and industry, and is currently a senior researcher at Microsoft Research in Cambridge.
Tony is known for many significant research achievements: his sorting and selection algorithms, for example, Quicksort and Find, Hoare logic, and the formal language Communicating Sequential Processes.
Pioneering and Fundamental Contributions to the Progress of Software Science. From the early 1960s, at the beginning of the shift to large-scale, large-capacity computers, Professor Hoare presented Hoare’s Logic on the definition and design of programming languages and a number of other papers on specification, design, implementation and ...
Abstract Tony Hoare's many contributions to computing science are marked by insight that was grounded in practical programming. Many of his papers have had a profound impact on the evolution of our eld; they have moreover provided a source of inspiration to several generations of researchers.
Emeritus Professor Sir Tony Hoare, a former Oxford University professor and Turing Award winner, is honoured by the Royal Society for his ground-breaking contributions to programming languages. He developed Quicksort, Hoare logic, CSP and other influential concepts in the field.
