Dear friends, leaders, guests, teachers, and students, good morning!

On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Computer Discipline of Nanjing University and the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the  department, please allow me, on behalf of the Department of Computer Science and Technology of Nanjing University, to extend a warm welcome to the department  friends, leaders, and guests attending today's celebration, and to the teachers and students my sincere regards!

The Computer Discipline of Nanjing University originated from the Department of Mathematics of Nanjing University with a long history. Computer teaching and research began in the 1950s. In 1958, the major of Computing Technology was established. The Department of Computer Science of Nanjing University was established in 1978 based on computing technology, computational mathematics, and mathematical logic, which was renamed the Department of Computer Science and Technology of Nanjing University in 1993. For more than half a century, several generations of computer scientists in Nanjing University have been adhering to the fine traditions, constantly pioneering and innovating, and have made remarkable achievements in discipline construction, talent cultivation, scientific research, and international  exchanges.

Under the leadership of the older generation of academic leaders and party leaders represented by Professor Xu Jiafu, winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award of the China Computer Federation, and Professor Sun Zhongxiu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing University's computer science has made  brilliant achievements in history. For example, in the 1960s, it successfully debugged the first computer in a university-affiliated with the Ministry of Higher Education,  and realized the first high-level language compilation system inChina; in the 1970s, it presided over the domestic DJS-210 medium-sized computer, XCY general  system program design language, XT-1 operating system, and other software systems; in the 1980s, developed the first domestic distributed system ZCZ, the first  domestic parallel inference system NDPIS combining software and hardware, etc. In 1981, the earliest doctoral authorization unit of Computer Software and Theory  was established in China, and the first doctor of computer software in mainland China was trained here. In 1987, it was approved to establish a postdoctoral mobile station of Computer Science and Technology, and in 1988, Computer Software and Theory was selected as one of the first national key disciplines. In 1992, Computer Application Technology was approved as a doctoral degree authorization unit, and in 1998, it was approved to establish a doctoral degree authorization unit for the first-level discipline of Computer Science and Technology. The State Key Laboratory for Novel Software Technology passed an expert evaluation in 1986  and was opened in 1990. It has laid a solid foundation for further development.
