Alan H. Borning is an American computer scientist noted for research on human–computer interaction, object-oriented programming, programming languages, constraint programming languages and systems, and cooperating constraint languages and solvers.[1] His research in human–computer interaction is on designing for human values, including systems to support civic engagement and deliberation, and tools to make public transport easier to use.
Biography
[edit]Borning received a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in mathematics from Reed College in 1971. He received a Master of Science (M.S.) in computer science from Stanford University in 1974 and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in computer science from Stanford University in 1979.[2]
He then joined the Department of Computer Science at the University of Washington in 1980. As of 2025[update], he is a professor emeritus there. He is also an adjunct professor in the Information School, and a member of the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Urban Design and Planning.[2]
He has been a visiting scholar at Xerox EuroPARC in Cambridge, England (1989–1990); Monash University and University of Melbourne in Australia (1997); University of Hamburg in Germany (2003); Ashesi University in Accra, Ghana (2004); and Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam, Germany (2010–2011) and then working with their Software Architecture Group on constraint language projects.[2]
Awards
[edit]In the year 2001, he became an ACM Fellow, by the Association for Computing Machinery, for contributions to constraint-based languages, systems, and applications, to object-oriented programming; and to understanding issues of computers and society.[3]
