The 2022 Dijkstra Prize Award Committee concluded its deliberations and we are happy to announce that the papers

“Safe Memory Reclamation for Dynamic Lock-Free Objects Using Atomic Reads and Writes,”
by Maged M. Michael. Proceedings of the 22nd ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed
Computing (PODC), Monterey, CA, USA, July 2002, pages 21–30.

16th International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC), Toulouse, France, October
2002, pages 339–353.

have been selected by the committee to receive the Dijkstra Prize this year for providing the first general approach to memory reclamation in nonblocking data structures, with significant impact both in research and practice.

Congratulations!
