Cambridge has been an internationally respected centre of learning since the 13th century. Over the course of the last century
the University of Cambridge has been the origin of fundamental advances in nuclear physics, molecular biology and computer
science. Over three hundred companies and commercial laboratories specialising in computing and advanced technology are concentrated
in the area. The Computer Laboratory was founded in 1937 (as the Mathematical Laboratory) for work on mechanical calculators
and analogue computers. It became involved in digital computing after 1945 under the direction of Professor Maurice Wilkes.
Some of the Cambridge developments of that period belong in the basic stock of computing knowledge, for example the ideas
of subroutines and of microprogramming. The Computer Laboratory runs an Alumni Who's Who system with an added Calendar module and a bespoke Job Advertisement module.
Their system has been running since September 2002. Magic Content is used to ensure the content of the "Lab Ring" website
remains up-to-date. |
