The world readies to honour Alan Turing, father of Computer Science, on the centenary of his birth, June 23, 2012. The Computer Society of India has launched a web page ( illustrated above) http://www.csi-india.org/web/csi/alan-turing-special  and a year long roster of events, starting with One - Day Seminar on:"Computability, Complexity and the Digital Era" on23 June 2012, the actual birthday, in Kolkata. 
CSI has linked with Leeds University which is a sort of clearing housd of Turing events http://www.mathcomp.leeds.ac.uk/turing2012/  
From Wikipedia: Alan Mathison Turing, OBE, FRS (23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954) was an English mathematician, logician,cryptanalyst, and computer scientist. He was highly influential in the development of computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of "algorithm" and "computation" with the Turing machine, which played a significant role in the creation of the modern computer. Turing is widely considered to be the father of computer science and artificial intelligence. During the Second World War, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School (GCCS) at Bletchley Park, Britain's codebreaking centre. For a time he was head of Hut 8, the section responsible for German naval cryptanalysis. He devised a number of techniques for breaking German ciphers, including the method of the bombe ( see illustration above) , an electromechanical machine that could find settings for the Enigma machine. After the war he worked at the National Physical Laboratory, where he created one of the first designs for a stored-program computer, the ACE. In 1948 Turing joined Max Newman's Computing Laboratory at Manchester University, where he assisted in the development of the Manchester computers[4] and became interested in mathematical biology ( see statue ofTuring in Manchester, above)
