Dijkstra Prize 2010
The 2010 Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing
The ACM-EATCS Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed
Computing was created to acknowledge outstanding papers
on the principles of distributed computing whose significance
and impact on the theory or practice of distributed computing
have been evident for at least a decade.
The annual award is sponsored jointly by the ACM Symposium
on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC) and the
EATCS Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC).
The Dijkstra Award Committee has selected
Tushar D. Chandra, Vassos Hadzilacos, and Sam Toueg,
to receive the 2010 Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing
for the following two outstanding papers:
Tushar D. Chandra and Sam Toueg. Unreliable Failure Detectors
for Reliable Distributed Systems, Journal of the ACM, 43(2):225-267,
1996. (The first version appearing in the Proceedings of the 10th ACM
Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing, 1991.)
Tushar D. Chandra, Vassos Hadzilacos and Sam Toueg. The Weakest
Failure Detector for Solving Consensus, Journal of the ACM, 43(4):685-722,
1996. (The first version appearing in the Proceedings of the 11th ACM
Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing, 1992.)
The official citation is written by Marcos K. Aguilera and Michel Raynal.
