Universal Turing machine: Standards & Science

In computer science, a universal Turing machine (UTM) is a Turing machine capable of computing any computable sequence, as described by Alan Turing in his seminal paper "On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem". Or, in other words, a Turing machine that is capable of simulating any other specialized Turing machines.
