Ben Rin presents work on infinitary computers in UK
- July 1, 2012
- Conference marks 100th anniversary of the birth of computer science pioneer Alan Turing
-----
Ben Rin, LPS graduate student, recently presented a paper entitled "The Computational
Strengths of Alpha-length Infinite Time Turing Machines" at the 2012 Computability
in Europe (CiE) conference, held in Cambridge, England June 18-23. The CiE conferences
are the largest annual international meetings covering the full range of research
on computability. This year's conference was part of a series of events held in honor
of Alan Turing, the pioneering British computer scientist responsible for the invention
of the "Turing machine," a hypothetical device that can, in principle, execute any
computer program and which is therefore useful in analyzing many problems in computer
science and logic. Rin's paper, which will form part of his dissertation, explored
a generalization of the Turing machine with an infinite amount of memory.
