Herbrand Award
Encyclopedia
The Herbrand Award for Distinguished Contributions to Automated Deduction is an award given by CADE
Inc. (although it predates the formal incorporation of CADE) to honour persons or groups for important contributions to the field of automated deduction
. The award is named after the French
scientist Jacques Herbrand
and given at most once per CADE or IJCAR
conference. It comes with an endowment of US$ 1000. Anyone can be nominated, the award is awarded after a vote among CADE trustees and former recipients, usually with input from the CADE/IJCAR programme committee.
Past recipients of the award are:
Conference on Automated Deduction
The Conference on Automated Deduction is the premier academic conference on automated deduction and related fields. The first CADE was organized in 1974 at the Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago. Most CADE meetings have been held in Europe and the USA. However, conferences have been held all...

Jacques Herbrand
Jacques Herbrand was a French mathematician who was born in Paris, France and died in La Bérarde, Isère, France. Although he died at only 23 years of age, he was already considered one of "the greatest mathematicians of the younger generation" by his professors Helmut Hasse, and Richard Courant.He...
