Barbara Liskov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Liskov is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). In 2004 she won the John von Neumann Medal for 'fundamental contributions to programming languages, programming methodology, and distributed systems'. She is the author of three books and over a hundred technical papers.
Liskov received the 2008 Turing Award from the ACM[4] for her work in the design of programming languages and software methodology that led to the development of object-oriented programming.[5] Specifically, Liskov developed two programming languages, CLU in the 1970s and Argus in the 1980s.[5] The ACM cited her contributions to the practical and theoretical foundations of 'programming language and system design, especially related to data abstraction, fault tolerance, and distributed computing.'[6]"
