Richard Wesley Hamming (02/11/1915—01/07/1998)

1968 第三 奖获

 

(Turing Award Citation)

 

Citation

For his work on numerical methods, automatic coding systems, and error-detecting and error-correcting codes.

 

( Richard Hamming ) 数字方法,自动编码系统和错误检测和错误纠正编码领域的杰出贡献。

 

Richard Hamming 就 是著名的汉明码的发明人。汉明码是一种多重(复式)奇偶检错系统。它将信息用逻辑形式编码,以便能够检错和纠错。用在汉明码中的全部传输码字是由原来的信 息和附加的奇偶监督位组成的。每一个这种奇偶位被编在传输码字的特定比特位置上。实现得合适时,这个系统对于错误的数位无论是原有信息位中的,还是附加监 督位中的都能把它分离出来。

 

汉明码被广泛应用在数据通讯领域中。

Turing Award Lecture(图灵奖演讲文章)

“One Man’s View of Computer Science”, Journal of the ACM, 16(1):3-12, January 1969

ABSTRACT : A number of observations and comments are directed toward suggesting that more than the usual engineering flavor be given to computer science. The engineering aspect is important because most present difficulties in this field do not involve the theoretical question of whether certain things can be done, but rather the practical question of how can they be accomplished well and simply. The teaching of computer science could be made more effective by various alterations, for example, the inclusion of a laboratory course in programming, the requirement for a strong minor in something other than mathematics, and more practical coding and less abstract theory, as well as more seriousness and less game playing.
