  That's the conclusion in this recent interview with Karen Spärck Jones: http://www.bcs.org/server.php?show=ConWebDoc.10791  

  In addition to the BCS Lovelace Medal, Karen was also named the winner of the ACM Allen Newell Award and the ACMW Athena Lecturer award just within the last month. 

  Sadly, I just got news that Karen Spärck Jones died this morning.  

  Although she did live long enough to learn how valued her work was, its unfortunate that she isn't with us to celebrate these accomplishments.
