The AITO Dahl-Nygaard Prize - Statutes

  1. The AITO Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard prize is awarded annually to two individuals that have made significant technical contributions to the field of Object-Orientation. The work should be in the spirit of the pioneer conceptual and/or implementation work of Dahl and Nygaard which shaped our present view of programming and modeling, now known as Object-Orientation.
  2. The prize is presented each year at the ECOOP conference.
  3. The prize consists of two awards given to a senior and to a junior professional. (While the prizes are usually awarded annually, there may be exceptional occasions when one or both are left unawarded.)
  4. The senior professional should have made a significant long-term contribution to the field in research or engineering. The junior professional should have made a promising contribution to the field through a paper, a thesis or a prototype implementation. No one can be a candidate for the junior prize if, on the 1st. of July for the year of the prize is older than 33 years.
  5. A Prize Committee of three persons nominated annually by the AITO General Assembly recommends the award winners to the AITO executive committee.
  6. Every year AITO will solicit proposals until September 30th. Such notice shall be placed on the AITO/ECOOP websites and also emailed to the ECOOP mailing list and other organizations such as OOPSLA and AOSD as appropriate. The Prize Committee will propose two names to the AITO executive committee, not later than December 31st of that year.
  7. Proposals may be submitted by anyone in the community by sending an email to dahl-nygaard@aito.org.
  8. The decision of the committee will be made public and official before the end of January and published on the AITO web site.
  9. The prizes will be officially presented at the ECOOP conference of the following year. The winners may be asked to give a talk on this occasion. Both recipients will be invited by AITO to ECOOP (travel expenses and conference registration will be paid by AITO).
  10. In addition to the presentation of the prize, the junior winner will receive a cash award of 2.000 Euros.
