The award, given by the Special Interest Group on Ada of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), recognises individuals and organisations that have made outstanding contributions to the Ada community and for broad and lasting contributions to Ada technology and usage.

The Ada programming language was created in the 1980s to manage the increasing complexity of building embedded real-time systems. Luís Miguel Pinho has been working for several years in this area, contributing to the advance of real-time mechanisms. More recently, the researcher has started working on parallel real-time system programming on many-core embedded platforms. In 2007, Luís Miguel Pinho became a member of the board of the Ada-Europe organisation and Editor-in-Chief of the Ada User Journal.
