Dintinguished professor of computer science, Syracuse University, New York, USA.

Thèmes de recherche

Per Brinch Hansen is one of a handful of computer pioneers who was responsible for advancing both operating systems development and concurrent programming from ad hoc techniques to systematic engineering disciplines. His work illustrates a relentless search for simplicity exemplified by the RC 4000 multiprogramming system, the monitor concept, and the programming language Concurrent Pascal. His work has influenced most operating systems and concurrent programming languages developed over the last twenty-five years.

Since then his main contribution has been the development of secure programming language concepts for parallel computing. His most influential early idea was the monitor concept, which combines process synchronization with object-oriented programming.
