Home›Pioneers›Born›By Decade›1940sBrowse By1940sThis dimension groups computing pioneers by the year they were born, showing which generation of the field they belong to. Wikipedia notes that the history of computing "extends beyond the history of computing hardware and modern computing technology," spanning a very long line of contributors born across many different generations. Browsing by born year lets a visitor compare pioneers from the same generation.1940sConnectionsComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)1940sFilter Results296 entriesFieldAllAlgorithm Design and Analysis (14)Applied Cryptography (8)Artificial Intelligence (9)Collaborative and Social Computing (1)Combinatorial Optimization (6)Compilers and Language Implementation (11)Computational Complexity Theory (15)Computer Graphics (16)Computer Vision (11)Cryptography and Cryptanalysis (5)Data Management Systems (14)Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery (1)Digital Libraries and Archives (1)Early Packet-Switching and ARPANET Pioneers (7)Formal Languages and Automata Theory (4)Formal Methods and Verification (19)Human-Computer Interaction (7)Internet Governance and Standards (14)Internet Protocols and Routing (7)Logic and Foundations (2)Machine Learning (7)Modeling and Simulation (1)Natural Language Processing (10)Operating Systems Software (8)Programming Language Designers (19)Quantum Computing and Information (3)Robotics (3)Software Engineering Methodology and Process (19)Software Tools and Development Environments (4)Systems Security (3)Wireless and Mobile Networking (2)World Wide Web Pioneers (1)ACM AreaAllAlgorithms and Complexity Theory (18)Artificial Intelligence (14)Blockchain (1)Computer Algebra (3)Computer Architecture (10)Computer Graphics (10)Computer Networking (27)Computer Vision (7)Cryptography (8)Data and Information Visualization (1)Data Mining (1)Databases (16)Digital Libraries (2)Distributed Computing (7)Embedded Systems (2)Evolutionary Computation (1)Formal Methods (13)Human Computer Interaction (9)Information Retrieval (3)Information Security (4)Machine Learning (4)Natural Language Processing (4)Operating Systems (12)Parallel Computing (7)Pattern Recognition (2)Programming Language Theory (27)Quantum Computing (1)Quantum Information Science (1)Recommender Systems (1)Robotics (7)Software Engineering (15)Theory of Computation (22)Wearable Computing (1)Web Science (1)GroupAllAlgorithm Design and Analysis (14)Applied Cryptography (8)Artificial Intelligence (9)Collaborative and Social Computing (1)Combinatorial Optimization (6)Compilers and Language Implementation (11)Computational Complexity Theory (15)Computer Graphics (16)Computer Vision (11)Cryptography and Cryptanalysis (5)Data Management Systems (14)Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery (1)Digital Libraries and Archives (1)Early Packet-Switching and ARPANET Pioneers (7)Formal Languages and Automata Theory (4)Formal Methods and Verification (19)Human-Computer Interaction (7)Internet Governance and Standards (14)Internet Protocols and Routing (7)Logic and Foundations (2)Machine Learning (7)Modeling and Simulation (1)Natural Language Processing (10)Operating Systems Software (8)Programming Language Designers (19)Quantum Computing and Information (3)Robotics (3)Software Engineering Methodology and Process (19)Software Tools and Development Environments (4)Systems Security (3)Wireless and Mobile Networking (2)World Wide Web Pioneers (1)NationalityAllAustralia (3)Austria (1)Belgium (2)Brazil (2)Bulgaria (1)Canada (15)Chile (1)China (3)Cyprus (1)Denmark (2)Finland (1)France (12)Germany (8)Greece (5)Hungary (2)India (11)Israel (2)Italy (3)Japan (6)Latvia (1)Netherlands (6)New Zealand (1)Norway (1)Philippines (1)Poland (2)Portugal (1)Russia (6)Slovenia (1)South Africa (1)South Korea (2)Sweden (2)Switzerland (3)Taiwan (1)Tunisia (1)Ukraine (1)United Kingdom (21)United States (171)Uruguay (1)Wikidata: Australia (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 296Abhay Bhushan1940sAdele Goldberg1940sAlain Colmerauer1940sAlan Kay1940sAlberto Ciaramella1940sAlexander Dewdney1940sAlfred Aho1940sAllan Alcorn1940sAllan Borodin1940sAllan L.
