I'm compiling a computing research publication/invention "greatest hits" to help myself and others learn what's already been done, and avoid, as Alan Kay would say, "reinventing the flat tire." Your suggestions for noteworthy publications or inventions are welcome.

This would be a lot more useful if it had more information. For example:

- A brief explanation of why each item is significant to the history of computer science.

- Links to the articles (if available), and links to sources like Wikipedia articles that describe the work.
