2012 is a noteworthy year in the relatively short history of computing science. It was 100 years ago on the 23rd of June 1912 that the British computing scientist Alan Mathison Turing was born; the man widely credited as the father of computing science. Among many achievements, it was his influential work developing and formalising the early models of computation - the eponymous Turing Machine, which played a major role in the development of early computers. Even a visionary such as Turing could probably never have imagined the impact that his work would have in laying the foundations of a computer age.
