About this event
**[Kevlin Henney](https://about.me/kevlin)** **presents:**
"[Programming with Abstract Data Types](http://jpk.pku.edu.cn/course/sjjg/chapter1/resource/Programming%20with%20Abstract%20Data%20Types.pdf)" (1974) and "[Abstraction Mechanism in CLU](https://web.eecs.umich.edu/~weimerw//2008-615/reading/liskov-clu-abstraction.pdf)" (1977) by Barbara Liskov (and collaborators).
**Abstract**
Data abstraction arrived in the 1970s as a paradigm in its own right. It became absorbed into other paradigms, from object orientation to functional, and has heavily influenced programming language design since. At the heart and start of this was Barbara Liskov's work with the CLU language. In this talk we'll take a trip back to the mid-1970s to explore work led by Liskov in "Programming with Abstract Data Types" and "Abstraction Mechanism in CLU", taking in the context in which these ideas emerged and the long-term influences on program and language design.
