About This Award
The Salomaa Prize is named after Arto Salomaa, a Finnish mathematician and computer scientist who was one of the founding fathers of automata theory – the study of abstract, self-propelled computing machines and the problems they can solve – and a co-founder of the Developments in Language Theory (DLT) conference.
