On Monday 10 November 2003, Professor Sir Tony Hoare FRS, Senior Researcher
at Microsoft Research Ltd. will deliver his lecture, Grand Challenges for
Computing Research, at The Royal Society of Edinburgh.
Sir Tony summaries his lecture as follows...
Grand challenges have made major contributions in many mature
branches of science - astronomy, physics, mathematics, and (more recently)
genetics. What are the grand challenges for research in computing? This
lecture will report progress of an on-going exploration conducted by the
computing research community in the UK.
This is a free public lecture, where tickets will be issued on a first come,
first served basis. It will take place at approximately 5.30pm - 7.00pm,
with refreshments from 5.00pm.
We very much hope you will be able to join us for this lecture which
promises to be very informative and enjoyable. If not, please forward this

Many thanks,
