== About Manfred Paul ==
Manfred Paul was chairman of TC2 from 1977 to 1986, and has been the representative for Germany since 1973. He was a founder member of WG2.1 (Algorithmic languages and Calculi) and chairman from 1969 to 1975, and a founder member of WG2.2 (Formal Description of Programming Concepts). He was awarded the IFIP Silver Core in 1974. One of Prof Paul's many accomplishments is that he was the author of the ALGOL compiler "ALCOR MUNICH Z22" for the ZUSE Z22, an early commercially available computer in Europe. This compiler was one of the first handling full recursion in a high level programming language.  Manfred Paul passed away on September
18, 2021.

IFIP TC2 (Software: Theory and Practice) Community Website

The [IFIP TC2] committee has been established in 1962. Its aims and scope were revised twice: in 1982, and in 1990.

Aims

To obtain a deeper understanding of programming concepts in order to improve the quality of software by studying all aspects of the software development process, both theoretical and practical.

Scope

The scope of the committee encompasses all aspects of the software development process including the specification, design, implementation and validation of software systems. Areas of present activity are:

  • formal models of software concepts
  • programming languages and techniques
  • models for information storage and processing
  • program support environments
  • user interfaces to software systems
  • software quality

News

In July 2023, Dr. Jacques Carette was elected as Chair, and Dr. Peter Höfner as Vice-Chair. We thank past Chair Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ina Schaefer and Vice-Chair Ao. Univ.Prof. Dr. Stefan Biffl for their dedicated years of service.

Older news

IFIP Outstanding Service Awards were awarded for 2013 to Prof. Anthony Finkelstein (WG 2.9), Prof. Brian Ford (WG 2.5), and Prof. Chris Lengauer (WG 2.11).

An IFIP Outstanding Service Award was awarded to Prof. Davide Sangiorgi on September 28, 2012. Prof. Davide Sangiorgi chaired IFIP Working Group 2.2, "Formal Description of Programming Concepts", for two consecutive terms (2006-2011). During his term the Working Group was very active. For instance they organized a well attended Amir Pnueli Memorial Symposium in 2010. The group was also involved in organization of the well-known CONCUR conferences. Prof. Davide Sangiorgi is also a highly recognized scientist in his own right. He is the author of a well-known book on the pi-calculus which has over 1200 citations (Google Scholar).
