EATCS honours three outstanding PhD theses with the EATCS Distinguished Dissertation Award for 2016

EATCS is proud to announce that, after examining the nominations received from our research community, the EATCS Distinguished Dissertation Award Committee 2016, consisting of Giuseppe Persiano (chair), Elvira Mayordomo, Dale Miller, Jaroslav Nesetril, Damian Niwinski, David Peleg and Vladimiro Sassone, has selected the following three theses for the EATCS Distinguished Dissertation Award for 2016:

2017 Dijkstra Prize Award

The 2017 Dijkstra Prize Award Committee concluded its deliberations and we are happy to announce that the paper

Elizabeth Borowsky, Eli Gafni:
Generalized FLP impossibility result for t-resilient asynchronous computations.
STOC 1993: 91-100

was selected as the winner of the 2017 ACM-EATCS Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing.

The 2017 Alonzo Church Award

The 2017 Alonzo Church Award for Outstanding Contributions to Logic and Computation is given jointly to Samson Abramsky, Radha Jagadeesan, Pasquale Malacaria, Martin Hyland, Luke Ong, and Hanno Nickau for providing a fully-abstract semantics for higher-order computation through the introduction of game models, thereby fundamentally revolutionising the eld of programming language semantics, and for the applied impact of these models. Their contributions appeared in three papers:
