Dahl Nygaard Prize
The AITO Dahl-Nygaard Prize (The AITO Dahl-Nygaard Prize) is an annual award in the field of software development . Each year an established researcher is honored for his outstanding professional achievements and a younger researcher who has shown great potential. In addition to the prize, the latter receives a grant of 2,000 euros for research purposes.
The prize was donated in 2004 by the Association Internationale pour les Technologies Objets (AITO), a non-profit organization based in Kaiserslautern .
The winners of both prizes will be announced regularly at the European Conference on Object Oriented Programming (ECOOP). The awards are named after Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard , who are considered the fathers of object-oriented programming . In the 1960s they developed Simula , which is considered the first object-oriented programming language and, among other things, is a predecessor of Smalltalk .
