		Abelson is also the winner of the 1995 Taylor L. Booth Education Award given by IEEE Computer Society, cited for his continued contributions to the pedagogy and teaching of introductory computer science.
		Abelson and Sussman also cooperate in codirecting the MIT Project on Mathematics and Computation, a project of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (previously a joint project of the AI Lab and LCS, CSAIL's components).
		Together their students, Abelson and Sussman are combining techniques from numerical computing, symbolic algebra, and heuristic programming to develop programs that not only perform massive numerical computations, but that also interpret these computations and "discuss" the results in qualitative terms.

		Abelson owns to a “real anxiety that people are quick to talk about academic exchange under the rubrics of property and ownership,” along the lines of the motion picture, recording and publishing industries.
		Abelson exhorts universities to pursue their true mission of generating, disseminating and preserving knowledge, and defend against the encroachments of the commercial publishing industry, with its near stranglehold on journals and increasingly on ideas themselves.
		Abelson was recipient in 1992 of the Bose Award (MIT's School of Engineering teaching award) and is also the winner of the 1995 Taylor L. Booth Education Award given by IEEE Computer Society, cited for his continued contributions to the pedagogy and teaching of introductory computer science.

	who owns research and teaching
		Abelson then discussed a statement from the University of Chicago which asserted that since knowledge-building at the university is a collective enterprise, the university formally declares its ownership of all the IP created by its faculty on its premises.
		Abelson jokingly suggested that MIT should offer a differential tuition; one allowing you to sit in class and another allowing you to sit in class and actually use what you learn.
		Abelson regretted that the first half of his talk had been inevitably depressing and devoted the second half to what he felt were positive developments in knowledge-sharing and digital technology.

		Trinity University in San Antonio is home this semester to visiting scholar Hal Abelson, an electrical and computer science professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston.
		Abelson and MIT share a radical idea, one that is counterintuitive to intellectual property laws and the trend to protect everything: Schools, especially universities, should put everything from sylla- buses, lecture notes and study materials to course exams and assignments on the Internet.
		UT-Austin's top lawyer decided a few years ago to notify all students that their class notes are derivatives of their professors' intellectual property and are to be used only for personal purposes, not to be shared with anyone else.
