Dear colleges and friends,
It
is a great pleasure for me to send this email.
A couple of days ago
AITO officially announced that the junior prize of the AITO Dahl-Nygaard
Prize Winners is given to Doru, Tudor G�rba. The award will be given at
the ECOOP conference, this year, in Uppsala, Sweden. AITO is the
non-profit organization who is behind ECOOP.
The prestigious
Dahl-Nygaard award is given to "individuals that have made significant
technical contributions to the field of Object-Orientation�. ECOOP is
the high-caliber European conference on object-orientation. The European
version of OOPSLA.
I have known Doru for year, when we were
doing our PhD in Bern under the supervision of St�phane Ducasse and
Oscar Nierstrasz. Doru�s work and ideas have had a great impact on the
Pharo and Smalltalk community.
Doru is member of the Pharo
board. Doru authored Glamour, GTToolKit and many more applications. Doru
is not only a great researcher, a great engineer or a great speaker. He
is also a great leader. Doru is the main architect of the Moose effort,
and a great coordinator in the Moose and Pharo communities. Doru
authored Humane Assessment, "the method for making software engineering
decisions".
Doru�s work has had a great impact on my personal
work. Roassal is an extension of the ideas first presented in Mondrian,
which was first authored by Doru and his student around 2005. Without
Doru, Moose would not be as it is now.
Doru, we are happy to
have you with us! This international recognition will drag up all of us.
