생애 편집

데이크스트라는 레이던 대학교에서 이론물리학을 전공했다.

데이크스트라는 컴퓨터과학이 아직 학문으로 완전하게 정립되지 않았던 시절에 컴퓨터과학의 여러 분야에 걸쳐 많은 공헌을 했다. 그의 다방면에 걸친 업적은 다음과 같다.

오랜 투병 끝에 2002년 8월 6일에 세상을 떠났다.

This method of proceeding in a design would obliviously be greatly encouraged by the use of a structured programming language, a language with a set of constructs that could freely be combined and nested. The textual structure of a program should directly reflect its flow of control."

"In 1965 Dijkstra wrote his famous Notes on Structured Programming and declared programming as a discipline in contrast to a craft. Also in 1965 Hoare published an important paper about data structuring. These ideas had a profound influence on new programming language, in particular Pascal. Languages are the vehicles in which these ideas were to be expressed. Structured Programming became supported by a Structured programming languages]]."

In his 2004 memoir, "A Programmer's Story: The Life of a Computer Pioneer", Brinch Hansen wrote that he used "Cooperating Sequential Processes" to guide his work implementing multiprogramming on the RC 4000, and described it saying, "One of the great works in computer programming, this masterpiece laid the conceptual foundation for concurrent programming."
  11. As Lamport (2002) wrote, "Edsger W. Dijkstra started the field of concurrent and distributed algorithms with his 1965 CACM paper "Solution of a Problem in Concurrent Programming Control", in which he first stated and solved the mutual exclusion problem. That paper is probably why Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing exists; it certainly inspired most of my work."

Alexander Stepanov: "...I also discovered books of two great computer scientists from whose work I learned the scientific foundation of my trade: Donald Knuth and Edsger Dijkstra. Knuth taught me the answers. Dijkstra taught me the questions. Time and time again I come back to their works for new insights."
