👉 Connecticut Computing, established in 1967, was a pioneering computer science research organization in the United States, primarily based in Storrs, Connecticut. It focused on advancing computer science education and research, particularly in areas like artificial intelligence, computer networks, and software engineering. The organization was instrumental in developing the CTL (Connecticut Theory of Computation), a formal model for understanding computation, which laid foundational principles for theoretical computer science. Connecticut Computing also played a crucial role in fostering collaboration between academia and industry, contributing significantly to the growth of computer science as a discipline. Through its initiatives, including the CTL Summer School and the CTL Institute, it helped cultivate a generation of computer scientists and engineers, leaving a lasting impact on the field.
