| Abstract: |
The article commemorates Prof. Dr. Anton Pavel Železnikar (1928–2026), a pioneering figure in Slovenian and former Yugoslav computer science and informatics. It highlights his foundational contributions as a researcher, professor, and visionary, including his leadership roles at the Jožef Stefan Institute, his academic work at the University of Ljubljana and University of Maribor, and his industrial impact at Iskra Delta Computers. Železnikar co-founded the Slovenian Society INFORMATIKA, served as its first president, and established the journal Informatica, shaping its international reputation. His scientific work spanned switching circuit theory, algorithms, parallel computing, artificial intelligence, and the conceptual foundations of information and cognition. His legacy is reflected in the institutions, research communities, and educational frameworks he helped develop in Slovenia. [Extracted from the article] |
