Sir Charles Antony Richard Hoare FRS FREng, also known as Tony Hoare or by his initials C. A. R. Hoare (/ h ɔːr /; born 11 January 1934) is a British computer scientist who has made foundational contributions to programming languages, algorithms, operating systems, formal verification, and concurrent computing.
Biography. Tony Hoare's interest in computing was awakened in the early fifties, when he studied philosophy (together with Latin and Greek) at Oxford University, under the tutelage of John Lucas. He was fascinated by the power of mathematical logic as an explanation of the apparent certainty of mathematical truth.
Tony Hoare became a professor at Oxford University in 1977 and there returned to his interests in concurrency. Programming languages started by making at first minor and then more significant abstractions from the instruction set of hardware.
Tony is known for many significant research achievements: his sorting and selection algorithms, for example, Quicksort and Find, Hoare logic, and the formal language Communicating Sequential Processes.
Tony Hoare (born January 11, 1934, Colombo, Sri Lanka) is a British computer scientist and winner of the 1980 A.M. Turing Award, the highest honour in computer science, for “his fundamental contributions to the definition and design of programming languages.”
Sir Tony Hoare has had an enormous influence on computer science, from the Quicksort algorithm to the science of software development, concurrency and program verification.
