Akinori Yonezawa(born June 17, 1947) is a Japanese computer scientist. Professor Emeritus of the University of Tokyo. Received Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Currently, a senior fellow at the Chiba Institute of Technology, Software Technology and Artificial Intelligence Research Center. Former member of the Science Council of Japan. Specializes in object-oriented programming languages, distributed computing and information security. From its beginning, he contributed to the promotion and development of object-oriented programming, which is the basis of programming languages most commonly used today, and served as a program committee member and chairman of the main international conferences OOPSLA and ECOOP. At the same time, he is internationally known as a pioneer of the concepts and models of “concurrent/parallel objects". In software systems constructed based on concurrent/parallel objects, information processing and computation proceed by concurrent/parallel message passing among a large number of objects. Yonezawa's concurrent (parallel) objects are influenced by Actors, the concept of which was proposed by Carl Hewitt at MIT's AI Lab in the early 1970s and later rigorously formulated by Gul Agha. However, concurrent objects and actors are fundamentally different. An actor is an object that does not have a "state," whereas Yonezawa's concurrent (parallel) object can have a persistent state. For this reason, concurrent (parallel) objects are often used in implementing large parallel processing software systems. Large-scale software systems built and put into practical use based on concurrent (parallel) objects include an online virtual world system Second Life, social networking services such as Facebook and X (Twitter), and large-scale molecular dynamics simulation systems such as NAMD.
