Marion Créhange
Marion Créhange (born Marion Caen; 14 November 1937 – 28 March 2022) was a French computer scientist. She was one of the first persons in France to get a PhD in Computer Science in 1961. A pioneer of computer science at the University of Nancy, she was one of the first to write a PhD in computer science in France in 1961, under the direction of Jean Legras. The title of her thesis is ''Structure du code de programmation'', which deals with the definition and realization of a macro-assembler and a programming tool. Appointed professor in 1976, she participated in the foundation of the teaching and research unit (UER) of mathematics and computer science at the University Nancy-I. She then turned to the design of database query languages and founded the Exprim (EXPert pour la Recherche d'IMages) research team. She became a member of the Académie de Stanislas in 2017. Throughout her career, Marion Créhange has been committed to showing the reciprocal contributions between com ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Computer Scientist
A computer scientist is a person who is trained in the academic study of computer science. Computer scientists typically work on the theoretical side of computation, as opposed to the hardware side on which computer engineers mainly focus (although there is overlap). Although computer scientists can also focus their work and research on specific areas (such as algorithm and data structure development and design, software engineering, information theory, database theory, computational complexity theory, numerical analysis, programming language theory, computer graphics, and computer vision), their foundation is the theoretical study of computing from which these other fields derive. A primary goal of computer scientists is to develop or validate models, often mathematical, to describe the properties of computational systems (processors, programs, computers interacting with people, computers interacting with other computers, etc.) with an overall objective of discovering des ...

Sciences Et Avenir
''Sciences et Avenir'' (meaning ''Science and Future'' in English) is a monthly French popular science magazine, owned by Claude Perdriel. Its distribution in 2019 was 231,000 copies. The editorial team also publish about 15 articles per day on their website. History The magazine was founded in 1947. From 1994 to 2003 it was edited by Georges Golbérine.

University Of Nancy I
A university () is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in several academic disciplines. ''University'' is derived from the Latin phrase ''universitas magistrorum et scholarium'', which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars". Universities typically offer both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. The first universities in Europe were established by Catholic Church monks. The University of Bologna (), Italy, which was founded in 1088, is the first university in the sense of: *being a high degree-awarding institute. *using the word ''universitas'' (which was coined at its foundation). *having independence from the ecclesiastic schools and issuing secular as well as non-secular degrees (with teaching conducted by both clergy and non-clergy): grammar, rhetoric, logic, theology, canon law, notarial law.Hunt Janin: "The university in medieval life, 1179–1499", McFarland, 2008, , p. 55f.de Ridder-Symoens, Hilde''A ...

Académie De Stanislas
The Académie de Stanislas is a learned society founded in Nancy, France on 28 December 1750 by the King of Poland, Duke of Lorraine and Bar, Stanisław Leszczyński, under the name ''Société Royale des Sciences et Belles-Lettres de Nancy''. It was established in the old Jesuit College, the building which founded the Nancy-Université until its temporary suppression by the Jacobin Convention in 1793, and which has now become the Municipal Library of Nancy.

University Of Lorraine
The University of Lorraine (), often abbreviated in UL, is a grand établissement created on 1 January 2012, by the merger of Henri Poincaré University, Nancy 2 University, Paul Verlaine University – Metz and the National Polytechnic Institute of Lorraine (INPL). It aimed to unify the main colleges of the Lorraine region. The merger process started in 2009 with the creation of a "Pôle de Recherche et d'Enseignement Supérieur". The university has 51 campus sites, over the Lorraine region, the main ones are around Nancy and Metz. The other sites are in the towns of Epinal, Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, Bar-Le-Duc, Lunéville, Thionville-Yutz, Longwy, Forbach, Saint-Avold, Sarreguemines.

Computer Science
Computer science is the study of computation, automation, and information. Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, information theory, and automation) to Applied science, practical disciplines (including the design and implementation of Computer architecture, hardware and Computer programming, software). Computer science is generally considered an area of research, academic research and distinct from computer programming. Algorithms and data structures are central to computer science. The theory of computation concerns abstract models of computation and general classes of computational problem, problems that can be solved using them. The fields of cryptography and computer security involve studying the means for secure communication and for preventing Vulnerability (computing), security vulnerabilities. Computer graphics (computer science), Computer graphics and computational geometry address the generation of images. Progr ...

Symbolic Optimal Assembly Program
The Symbolic Optimal Assembly Program (SOAP) is an Assembler (computing), assembler for the IBM 650 Magnetic Drum Data-Processing Machine, an early computer first used in 1954. It was developed by Stan Poley at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center. SOAP is called ''Optimal'' (or ''Optimum'') because it attempts to store generated instructions on the drum memory, storage drum to minimize the access time from one instruction to the next. SOAP is a Multi-pass compiler, multi-pass assembler, that is, it processes the source program more than once in order to generate the object program. The first version of SOAP was succeeded by SOAP II in 1957, which supported additional hardware features such as index registers and magnetic core memory, SOAP IIA in 1958, SOAP 2L, SOAP 2L Tape, SOAP 4000, and SOAP 42 in 1961. SOAP was used as a backend to the FOR TRANSIT compiler in 1957. Donald Knuth independently produced versions named SOAP III in 1958 and SUPERSOAP in 1959 at Case Institute o ...
