Talk:Heinz Zemanek

The Vienna Lab
I am working on a collection of pages related to the Vienna Lab of which Heinz Zemanek was founder. I hope that others will join in to help build this up. Currently I am working on Dines_Bj%C3%B8rner. (Михал Орела 19:04, 2 September 2008 (UTC))

I have now added in the reference to the foundation and working of the IBM Laboratory Vienna, by K. Bandat. This gives the date of the date of the foundation: 1961 and the derivation of the lab as a department of the IBM lab in Boeblingen, Germany. (Михал Орела 21:28, 2 September 2008 (UTC))

Bandat further states that “Even though Zemanek transferred his management responsibility for the Laboratory Vienna after he was appointed an IBM Fellow in 1976, we still...” This is an important date of "closure" which I can add to the main article.

I also need the date of closure of the Vienna Lab itself.

IBM Laboratory I
Zemanek describes this part of his life beginning in September 1961 and 1968

IBM Laboratory II
Then in August 1968 (before the IFIP Congress in Edinburgh) Zemanek was elected Vice President of IFIP.

I am adding in two new time-periods of his life, related to the Vienna Lab. (Михал Орела 05:16, 3 September 2008 (UTC))

Pl/1
I am providing the reference to the Formal Definition of a PL/1 subset which was developed in the IBM Vienna Lab. The reference includes the names of the 5 researchers who did the actual work. (Михал Орела 20:33, 2 September 2008 (UTC))

There is a bad chronological ordering in the second paragraph: Additionally, he was involved in creating the formal definition[2] of the programming language PL/I. In 1954, he supervised a thesis, in the course of which the LRR1 was developed, probably the only logical machine ever built in Austria.

Specifically, Pl/1 saw the light of day in 1964, 10 years after the remarks on the thesis supervision. I will swap the two sentences. This then gives a wonderful opportunity to insert the date 1961 and with it, the foundation of the Vienna Lab. :) (Михал Орела 21:34, 2 September 2008 (UTC))

About the architecture of my life
Heinz Zemanek gave his own account of his early life in the IFIP TC2 Working Conference (30 January - 1 February 1985).The conference marked his 65th birthday. Some of the details of his early life are worth noting.

(Михал Орела 20:49, 2 September 2008 (UTC))

I have added in a significant detail about the first 4 years of his life (as he tells it himself). Specifically, he liven in Domzhale, near Ljubljana, Yugoslavia 1920-1924.
