Bio.:
Calvin C. (Kelly) Gotlieb has been called the "Father of Computing" in
Canada. He received his MA in 1944 and his PhD in 1947 from the
University of Toronto. In 1948, he was part of the first team in Canada
assembled to design and construct digital computers and to provide
computing services. In that year, he co-founded the original Computation
Centre at the University of Toronto. He established the first university
credit course on computing in Canada in 1950, and offered the first
Canadian graduate courses in computing in 1951. In 1964, he founded the
first graduate department of Computer Science in Canada, at the
University of Toronto.
Professor Gotlieb has over a hundred publications in many areas of
Computer Science and Information Processing, and has co-authored four
books: "High Speed Data Processing", "Social Issues in Computing", "Data
Types and Structures", and "The Economics of Computers".
Professor Gotlieb has dedicated much of his professional work to the
promotion of information science and technology and the advancement of
national and international cooperation in this field. He has been a
consultant to the United Nations on Computer Technology and Development,
and to the Privacy and Computers Task Force of the Canadian Federal
Department of Communications and Justice. He was a founding member of
the Canadian Information Processing Society in 1958, and served as
Canada's representative at the founding meeting of the International
Federation of Information Processing Societies in 1959, and from
1960-1966. He is a former Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the
Association of Computing Machinery, and a member of the Editorial
Advisory Board of Encyclopaedia Britannica and of the Annals of the
