    James Nairn Patterson (Pat) Hume \u00e9tait un v\u00e9ritable pionnier de l'informatique au Canada et un \u00e9ducateur scientifique \u00e0 vie. Il a d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 des logiciels pour le premier ordinateur \u00e9lectronique du Canada, a \u00e9t\u00e9 l'un des membres fondateurs du d\u00e9partement d'informatique de l'universit\u00e9 de Toronto, a co-cr\u00e9\u00e9 la s\u00e9rie t\u00e9l\u00e9vis\u00e9e The Nature of Things (avec son coll\u00e8gue Donald Ivey), toujours tr\u00e8s populaire sur la cha\u00eene CBC, et a \u00e9t\u00e9 l'auteur ou le co-auteur de plus de 20 ouvrages en informatique et en physique.<\/p>\n

    Pat \u00e9tait un informaticien accidentel. Il \u00e9tait jeune professeur de physique en 1952 lorsque Toronto a acquis le premier ordinateur \u00e9lectronique du Canada, appel\u00e9 FERUT (un ordinateur FERranti Mark I de l'Universit\u00e9 de Toronto), et l'a install\u00e9 en face de son bureau. Le Ferranti Mark I \u00e9tait le produit commercial du projet d'ordinateur \u00e0 programmes stock\u00e9s de l'universit\u00e9 de Manchester, auquel Alan Turing participait activement, et il \u00e9tait terriblement difficile \u00e0 programmer. Conscients de ce probl\u00e8me, Pat et sa coll\u00e8gue Trixie Worsley ont mis au point un syst\u00e8me baptis\u00e9 Transcode pour permettre aux scientifiques d'\u00e9crire plus facilement des programmes pour la nouvelle machine. Transcode a connu un succ\u00e8s imm\u00e9diat et, avec FERUT, il a jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le important dans un certain nombre de projets nationaux importants, dont le d\u00e9veloppement de la Voie maritime du Saint-Laurent. En d\u00e9cembre 1955, Pat a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 une exp\u00e9rience marquante (avec Kelly Gotlieb) en utilisant des t\u00e9l\u00e9types pour transmettre des donn\u00e9es de recherche \u00e0 FERUT depuis l'Universit\u00e9 de Saskatchewan et renvoyer les r\u00e9sultats des calculs \u00e0 Saskatoon. Cette exp\u00e9rience a \u00e9t\u00e9 reconnue comme la premi\u00e8re utilisation d'un ordinateur sur une longue distance et a constitu\u00e9 un pas en avant d\u00e9cisif vers l'\u00e8re de l'Internet.<\/p>\n

    En 1964, Pat a \u00e9t\u00e9 l'un des membres fondateurs du d\u00e9partement d'informatique de Toronto, dont les doctorants ont eu un impact majeur sur le d\u00e9veloppement de l'informatique dans tout le pays. Pat a \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sident du d\u00e9partement de 1975 \u00e0 1980, doyen associ\u00e9 des sciences physiques \u00e0 la School of Graduate Studies de 1968 \u00e0 1972 et ma\u00eetre du Massey College (succ\u00e9dant \u00e0 Robertson Davies) de 1981 \u00e0 1988. Il apportait son sens de l'humour \u00e0 tout ce qu'il entreprenait, qu'il s'agisse des t\u00e2ches m\u00e9nag\u00e8res, de ses activit\u00e9s universitaires ou des spectacles musicaux annuels qu'il \u00e9crivait, produisait et jouait pour le Arts and Letters Club de Toronto, dont il a \u00e9t\u00e9 le pr\u00e9sident de 1976 \u00e0 1978. Tout au long de sa carri\u00e8re, et dans de nombreux forums, Pat a \u00e9t\u00e9 anim\u00e9 par la passion de rendre la science plus accessible aux jeunes Canadiens.<\/p>\n

    En reconnaissance de ses nombreuses contributions, Pat a \u00e9t\u00e9 fait membre de l'Ordre du Canada, de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 royale du Canada et de l'ACM. Il a \u00e9galement re\u00e7u le Silver Core Award de l'IFIP, une Distinguished Service Citation de l'American Association of Physics Teachers, le Sandford Fleming Award de l'Institut royal canadien et la Diamond Jubilee Medal. Donald Ivey et lui-m\u00eame ont re\u00e7u une reconnaissance internationale pour les programmes qu'ils ont d\u00e9velopp\u00e9s entre 1958 et 1966 pour The Nature of Things, notamment une m\u00e9daille de l'Institut scientifique de Rome et le prestigieux Edison Award pour le meilleur film d'enseignement scientifique de 1962. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des Prix canadiens de productivit\u00e9 de l'information en 2002.<\/p>\n

    Pat est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9e en 2013 \u00e0 l'\u00e2ge de 90 ans.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
