Other languages still in use today include LISP (1958), invented by John McCarthy and COBOL (1959), created by the Short Range Committee. Another milestone in the late 1950s was the publication, by a committee of American and European computer scientists, of "a new language for algorithms"; the ALGOL 60 Report (the "ALGOrithmic Language"). This ...

A conversation with Eliza. ELIZA is an early natural language processing computer program developed from 1964 to 1967 [1] at MIT by Joseph Weizenbaum. [2] [3] Created to explore communication between humans and machines, ELIZA simulated conversation by using a pattern matching and substitution methodology that gave users an illusion of understanding on the part of the program, but had no ...

Any user on any computer node could access common databases on the network. [26]: 119 She developed the implementation of standards for testing computer systems and components, most significantly for early programming languages such as FORTRAN and COBOL. The Navy tests for conformance to these standards led to significant convergence among the ...
[23] [24] The computers were programmed with a language called "Basic" (no relation to the BASIC programming language developed at Dartmouth at about the same time). [25] The software also had an interpreter which was made up of a series of routines and an executive (like a modern-day operating system ), which specified which programs to run ...
He was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general-purpose computer. [6] [7] [8] Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science. [9]
