The ACM Curriculum '68, discussed in IFIP committees, contributed to shape computer science curricula in France and certainly in other countries. <br><br>Regarding a session at next year's SHOT/ SIGCIS, in addition to Ulf Hashagen and Irina Nikiforova, you might contact these German authors:

In the early 1950s, a few professors, who may be characterized as “science entrepreneurs”, created three-fold structures, associating courses in applied mathematics and programming, a computing facility and a research laboratory. This initiated a cumulative development process, attracting students, researchers, contracts, funding and powerful machines, and opening the field to novel applications or theoretical investigations. In other universities, these configurations were not completed – typically, they were limited to an assistant and a small computer, so that computing remained confined to technical training.<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">In the 1960s, the pioneers became the leaders of the new informatics field, hold power positions in learned societies and in science policy committees, and controlled the definition of computer science curricula. As the computing institutes they had created reached considerable size, they began to spin off their junior professors toward other universities, thus still increasing their « radiance ». These centers, like Grenoble, Nancy or Toulouse, remain major academic centers in the discipline today.<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">_______________________________________________<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">This email is relayed from members@sigcis.org, the email discussion list of SHOT SIGCIS.
