IEEE John von Neumann Medal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The IEEE John von Neumann Medal was established by the IEEE Board of Directors in 1990 and may be presented annually "for outstanding achievements in computer-related science and technology." The achievements may be theoretical, technological, or entrepreneurial, and need not have been made immediately prior to the date of the award.
The medal is named after John von Neumann.[1]
