Award conferred by the IEEE Computer Society
IEEE Computer Society Computer Pioneer Award Awarded for Outstanding contributions to the concepts and development of the computer field Country USA First award 1981 Website computer.org/awardsThe Computer Pioneer Award was established in 1981 by the Board of Governors of the IEEE Computer Society to recognize and honor the vision of those people whose efforts resulted in the creation and continued vitality of the computer industry. The award is presented to outstanding individuals whose main contribution to the concepts and development of the computer field was made at least fifteen years earlier. The recognition is engraved on a silver medal specially struck for the Society.
This award has now been renamed to "Women of the ENIAC Computer Pioneer Award".[1]
The award has two types of recipients:
