Dahl-Nygaard Senior Prize: Theory to UnderstandingKeynote

Sometimes theory seems like a barrier designed to keep the uninitiated out. In this talk I’d like to reflect on instances in my past work where theory helped provide intuition to understand complex phenomena as well as to suggest natural extensions to programming languages. Examples include the understanding of subtyping as well as the addition of MyType and matching to object-oriented languages.
Kim Bruce is Reuben C. and Eleanor Winslow Professor of Computer Science at Pomona College as well as well as Frederick Latimer Wells emeritus Professor of Computer Science at Williams College. He is the author of Foundations of Object-Oriented Language from MIT Press and co-author of Java: An Eventful Approach from Prentice-Hall. He received the 2005 SIGCSE award for Outstanding Contributions to Computer Science Education. His current research blends his interests in programming languages and education with work on the design of the Grace programming language with Andrew Black and James Noble.
