February 19: Alan Turing's paper on stored-program comuter (1946)

Alan Mathison Turing, the father of computer science, presented a paper describing detailed design of a stored-program computer on February 19, 1946. Turing had worked on the design of the Automatic Computing Engine (ACE) at the National Physical Laboratory of the UK between 1945 and 1947. This paper is based on the work of ACE and the computing machines used at the Bletchley Park. In February 1947, Turing wrote a report 'Intelligent Machinery', which introduced the question of whether or not it is possible for machinery to show intelligent behaviour - this is later named "Turing test".
