Brief Biography
Judith Bishop was in the first group to study computer science in South Africa in 1970 and has stayed at the front of her field of programming languages for distributed systems ever since. She wrote the first BASIC compiler for ICL computers in 1972 and was involved in the first Pascal compiler for the in 1976. Her doctorate investigated the relationship between the new languages of the 1970s (such as Ada and occam) and the stack and descriptor based mainframes of the time. She wrote the first Java textbook to become widely used in 1997 and most recently one of the first C# textbooks in 2004. After having contributed to the field of configuration description languages in the 1990s, she now works on the principles of adaptive software in a multi-lingual and mobile environment, in collaboration with Microsoft Research, local companies and collaborators in Germany and Italy. Professor Bishop is the top NRF rated woman computer scientist in South Africa and has published over 70 journal and conference papers. Her 14 books are available in six languages and read worldwide.
Judith Bishop graduated with a BSc Hons in 1972 from Rhodes University. In 1974 she received her Masters degree cum laude from the University of Natal and completed her PhD in 1977 at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom. She is a Fellow of the British Computer Society, Founding Fellow of the South African Institute of Computer Scientists and was awarded the prestigious IFIP Silver Core Medal for her services to the worldwide Information Technology community. She is a visible South African presence abroad, on international editorial, programme and award committees, and serves the community locally by organizing conferences and Summer Schools in South Africa aimed at keeping postgraduates involved in cutting edge research. She was elected chair of IFIP’s working group on Software Implementation Technology for two terms, and is now chair of the World Computer Congress in 2008. In 2010, she will be bringing the premier IEEE Software Engineering conference to Cape Town.
In recognition of her achievements, in 2005 Judith Bishop received the Department of Science and Technology award for Distinguished Woman Scientist of the Year for Innovation and was made an Outstanding Academic Achiever by the University of Pretoria for the period 2006-2008. In 2006, she was Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of South Africa. In 2008, she was nominated as a UP leading Mind in the university's Centenary Year.
