Dr. Peter Denning has been awarded the 1996 ACM Karl V. Karlstrom Outstanding
Educator Award for his long-standing efforts to shape our field and convey its
nature to computer scientists as well as a broader scientific community.
Professor Denning's vision, leadership, and early writings on Operating Systems
played a key role in making that area a respected part of the core curriculum.
His subsequent efforts advanced the entire curriculum by advocating the
integration of an experimental component as well as proposing a new map for
viewing the field. Finally, Denning's series of 47 bi-monthly columns in
American Scientist brought Computer Science questions to the attention of
the larger scientific community, long before such efforts were fashionable.
