– Mark Weiser
Mark Weiser (1952-1999) was the chief technology officer at Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center
(Parc). He is often referred to as the father of ubiquitous computing. He coined the term in 1988 to
describe a future in which invisible computers, embedded in everyday objects, replace PCs. Other
research interests included garbage collection, operating systems, and user interface design. He
received his MA and PhD in computer and communication science at the University of Michigan, Ann
Arbor. After completing his PhD, he joined the computer science department at the University of
Maryland College Park
Maryland,
Park, where he taught for 12 years
years. He wrote or cowrote over 75 technical
publications on such subjects as the psychology of programming, program slicing, operating systems,
programming environments, garbage collection, and technological ethics. He was a member of the
ACM, IEEE Computer Society, and American Association for the Advancement of Science. Weiser
passed away in 1999. Visit www.parc.xerox.com/csl/members/weiser or contact
[email protected] for more information about him.
