He played a pioneering role in computer science and informatics both locally and nationally - in establishing new departments and research groups, introducing new majors and training forms, and launching new fields and subjects. He played a decisive role in strengthening the field and the informatics profession, developing and gaining acceptance for its specific value system. His work as a workshop creator and professional influence were also significant nationally.

The National Academy of Sciences awarded him the Kalmár Prize in 2000.
