Carl Hewitt is an emeritus professor from MIT. He is known for his design of Planner that was the first AI language based on procedural plans that were invoked using pattern directed invocation from assertions and goals. A subset Micro Planner implemented by Gerry Sussman, Eugene Charniak and Terry Winograd was used in Terry's famous SHRDLU program. Prolog subsequently reinvented some of the capabilities of Micro Planner.
Carl and his students are also known for their work on Actors that are the universal primitives of concurrent computation. The Actor work built on Lisp, Simula, Smalltalk-80, capability-based systems, and packet communication systems.
Together with his student Bill Kornfeld, he developed the Scientific Community Metaphor.
More recently Carl has worked to integrate sociology, anthropology, organization science, the philosophy of science, and services science into information science.
