计算机界的最高荣誉（The highest honor in the computing world） The highest honor in the computing world The Turing Award (Turing) is an American Computer Association (ACM, Association for Computer Machinery) stem established in 1966, specialized in science and research of computer to reward those who promote the development of computer technology has the outstanding contribution of outstanding scientists. The original intention was to set up because of the rapid development of computer technology, especially in 1960s, it has become an independent influential discipline, the information industry is gradually formed, but in this industry has not a similar Nobel and Pulitzer award to promote the further development of the discipline. To compensate for this, so the Turing Award came into being, it is recognized as the computer industry Nobel award. Why is Turing so lucky? Many people dream of international computers highest award, the Turing Award, why is it so lucky, it is a long story. Alan Turing (Alan Turing) was born in London, England in June 23, 1912. He was considered one of the most famous mathematicians of the twentieth Century. No one expected his name to be linked to the computer industry. The mathematical community in twentieth Century is a lively discussion of the greatest scientific discoveries of the century of Kuhnt. Incompleteness theorem of Godel, in the past, mathematicians have always believed that, although a math problem to find the answer may be very difficult, but in theory there is a definite answer, a mathematical proposition. Either is true, or false. Godels incomplete theorem states that, in a slightly more complex system of mathematical axioms, there is always such a proposition that we can neither prove it to be true nor prove it to be false. The mathematicians were shocked to find that there had been such an uneasy uncertainty in what was once considered an absolutely rigorous mathematics. Each logicians are pondering, trying to find a way out of th
