Oxford University, England

   The 1980 ACM Turing Award was presented to Charles Antony Richard Hoare, Professor of Computation at the University of Oxford, England, by Walter Carlson, Chairman of the Awards Committee, at the ACM Annual Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, October 27, 1980.
    Professor Hoare was selected by the General Technical Achievement Award Committee for his fundamental contributions to the definition and design of programming languages. His work is characterized by an unusualcombination of insight, originality, elegance, and impact. He is best known for his work on axiomatic definitions of programming languages through the use of techniques popularly referred to as axiomatic semantics. He developed ingenious algorithms such as Quichsort and was responsible for inventing and promulgating advanced data structuring techniques in scientific programming languages. He has also made important contributions to operating systems through the study of monitors. His most recentwork is on communicating sequential processes.
    Prior to his appointment to the University of Oxford in 1977, Professor Hoare was Professor of Computer Science at The Queen's University in Belfast, Ireland, from 1968 to 1977 and was a Visiting Professor at StanfordUniversity in 1973. From 1960 to 1968 he held a number of positions with Elliott Brothers, Ltd., England.

    Professor Hoare has published extensively and is on the editorial boards of a number of the world's foremost computer science journals. In 1973 he received the ACM Programming Systems and Languages Paper Award.Professor Hoare became a Distinguished Fellow of the British Computer
Society in 1978 and was awarded the degree of Doctor of Science Honoris Causa by the University of Southern California in 1979.
    The Turing Award is the Association for Computing Machinery's highest award for technical contributions to the computing community. It is presented each year in commemoration of Dr. A.M. Turing, an English mathematician who made many important contributions to the computing sciences.
