Turing Award Received Logical Code Verification Method

    The winners of the Turing Prize, the premier science award in computer science, were Edmund Clarke, Allen Emerson, and Joseph Siphakis, creators of the model checking method used to verify whether model checking this logical structure (program or hardware) by the model of this formula. The program code is analyzed for how it fits into the general requirements for system design.

    The method was originally developed as part of a purely theoretical study, but soon found wide practical application in the development of complex integrated circuits, communication protocols, device drivers, digital controllers, etc. According to experts, the present potential of the invention has not yet been fully realized.

    Turing Award- An analogue of the Nobel Prize, but for computer scientists. As you know, Nobel, who lived a hundred years ago, did not like mathematicians, so he forbade them to give a prize in their own name. Computer science as a science at that time did not exist at all, so in 1966 I had to come up with something similar, the first winner was Alan Perlis, the creator of the first compilers. The Turing Prize in the amount of $ 250 thousand is awarded by a decision of the Association of Computing Engineering (ACM). The sponsors are Google and Intel.
