Professor Andy Hopper welcomed Business Secretary, Dr Vince Cable, to the Computer Laboratory today.
Dr Cable, in Cambridge to launch Cambridge Business Week, visited the University’s Computer Laboratory which, this year, celebrates its 75th anniversary.
The Computer Laboratory has been instrumental in making Cambridge the premier cluster in the UK – over 200 companies have been founded by Lab graduates and staff.
The January edition of the journal of the Computer Laboratory’s graduate association, The Ring, is now out.

2013 is a special year for the Computer Laboratory.
Not only does it mark the Laboratory’s 75th anniversary but also the centenary of the Cambridge computer pioneer, Professor Sir Maurice Wilkes.
Celebrations to mark these landmark events will take place on April 24th 2013. Full details of the day’s programme can be found at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/events/cl75/
Andy Pitts has been made a Fellow of the ACM for his contributions to the theory of programming language semantics.
The ACM Fellows Program was established in 1993 to recognize and honour outstanding ACM members for their achievements in computer science and information technology and for their significant contributions to the mission of the ACM. The ACM Fellows serve as distinguished colleagues to whom the ACM and its members look for guidance and leadership as the world of information technology evolves.
Andy is one of 52 distinguished computer scientists who will be
inducted as Fellows of the ACM this year. The complete list can be
found here.
Fifty one companies will converge on the Computer Laboratory on Thursday November 15th 2012 for the annual Supporters’ Club recruitment fair.
The event attracts many of the most prestigious IT companies at home and abroad, and provides students with an excellent opportunity to collect information on internships and graduate opportunities.
Of the 43 papers accepted (18.5% of those submitted) for the
Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL 2013) to
be held in Rome next January, four are authored by members of the Computer Laboratory’s Programming, Logic, and Semantics Research Group.
Professor Peter Robinson’s research exploring the role of emotions in human-machine interaction has inspired research on affective computing.
Robert Watson talks about spanning industry and academia, the importance of open source in software research, and challenges facing research that spans traditional boundaries in computer science.
