The Alan Turing Year
2012 has been designated the Alan Turing Year, and June 23rd 2012 is the centenary of his birth. There is no discipline in science that Turing has not had an impact upon.
Germany’s Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum in Paderborn pays tribute to the achievements of this equally academic and awkward scientist with an ambitious exhibition entitled “Eminent & enigmatic – 10 aspects of Alan Turing“.
The Turing machine still provides an important basis for research into theoretical computer science today, and the Turing test proposed by him in 1950 in response to the question “Can machines think?” lent impetus to the development of artificial intelligence.
