Norwegian Computing Center

NR carries out contract research and development in the areas of computing and quantitative methods for a broad range of industrial, commercial and public service organizations in Norway and internationally.

The Simula programming language was designed and built by Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard and their research group at the Norwegian Computing Center in Oslo between 1962 and 1967.

NR employees Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard received the Turing Award in 2001 and the 2002 IEEE John von Neumann Medal for the introduction of the concepts underlying object-oriented programming through the design and implementation of Simula 67.

In addition to research, DART's work covers concept studies, analysis, consultancy, prototyping, training, development, and evaluation.

The group is a significant international contributor to research and services within reservoir description, stochastic modeling and geostatistics for the petroleum industry.
