متن کاملThe First Decade of Computer Science in Argentina
Computer science has a curious history in Argentina: it began late (more than ten years later than in USA), had a ten-year span of flowering, was completely destroyed by the military dictatorship in 1966 and, disregarding some advances in small universities in the 1970s, began to weakly revive in 1983. In this article we shall analyze the ten-years long (1956-1966) “golden age” of computer scie...
متن کاملEurotra: past, present and future
Ten years ago Eurotra was just an idea discussed in an expert committee created by the Commission. After scanning the market in order to find a suitable MT system the members had realised that all available operational systems were American and based on a ten-year-old state-of-the-art in linguistics and computer science. In consequence, it seemed like a good idea to try to produce a European MT...
