=About Tony Marsland=
Quote from Tony Marsland's biography <ref>[https://webdocs.cs.ualberta.ca/~tony/biotony.html About Tony Marsland]</ref> :
Tony Marsland received his B.Sc. in Honours Mathematics from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Nottingham University of Nottingham] (UK, 1958) and M.S.E(E) and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Washington University of Washington], Seattle (USA, 1967). After working one year as an assistant professor he went to [[Bell Laboratories|AT&T Bell Laboratories]] in New Jersey for two years as a research scientist, before joining the Computing Science Department at the [[University of Alberta]]. He was an [[ACM]] National Lecturer during 1979-81 and a [https://www.conman.ualberta.ca/stellent/groups/public/@academic/documents/procedure/pp_cmp_061816.hcsp McCalla Research Professor] in 1985-86. His primary teaching and research interests were in the area of distributed computing systems design.
In the past, Tony served on a variety of General and Faculty committees, and completed one term as Associate Chair of Computing Science with primary responsibility for the Graduate Program. After helping for many years on NSERC's International Relations Committee, he spent much of the 1994 academic year visiting the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Hong_Kong University of Hong Kong]. In addition to normal teaching and research activities he was President of the International Computer Chess Association (1992-99). Separately, he has edited two books and written three lengthy encyclopedic articles in recent years.
Despite years of programming experience with languages like [[Assembly]], [[Fortran]], [[Snobol]], [[Lisp]], [[Pascal]] and [[C]] (and the many arcane scripting languages on [[Unix]] Systems), he is now happy to let others do the real work while he enjoys modern computer interfaces for day to day use and communication!
After many years as a Professional Engineer (member of APEGGA) he has a continuing special interest in the Industrial Internship Program (IIP) (which he directed 1994-2002) and in maintaining good external contacts.

=About Tony Marsland=
Quote from Tony Marsland's biography <ref>[https://webdocs.cs.ualberta.ca/~tony/biotony.html About Tony Marsland]</ref> :
Tony Marsland received his B.Sc. in Honours Mathematics from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Nottingham University of Nottingham] (UK, 1958) and M.S.E(E) and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Washington University of Washington], Seattle (USA, 1967). After working one year as an assistant professor he went to [[Bell Laboratories|AT&T Bell Laboratories]] in New Jersey for two years as a research scientist, before joining the Computing Science Department at the [[University of Alberta]]. He was an [[ACM]] National Lecturer during 1979-81 and a [https://www.conman.ualberta.ca/stellent/groups/public/@academic/documents/procedure/pp_cmp_061816.hcsp McCalla Research Professor] in 1985-86. His primary teaching and research interests were in the area of distributed computing systems design.
In the past, Tony served on a variety of General and Faculty committees, and completed one term as Associate Chair of Computing Science with primary responsibility for the Graduate Program. After helping for many years on NSERC's International Relations Committee, he spent much of the 1994 academic year visiting the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Hong_Kong University of Hong Kong]. In addition to normal teaching and research activities he was President of the International Computer Chess Association (1992-99). Separately, he has edited two books and written three lengthy encyclopedic articles in recent years.
Despite years of programming experience with languages like [[Assembly]], [[Fortran]], [[Snobol]], [[Lisp]], [[Pascal]] and [[C]] (and the many arcane scripting languages on [[Unix]] Systems), he is now happy to let others do the real work while he enjoys modern computer interfaces for day to day use and communication!
After many years as a Professional Engineer (member of APEGGA) he has a continuing special interest in the Industrial Internship Program (IIP) (which he directed 1994-2002) and in maintaining good external contacts.
