pioneers of the abstract data type or object-oriented modularization/
Wirth 1979`founders of abstract data type were C.A.R. Hoare, P. Brinch Hansen:

when she was working on the Venus system;

but prof Wirth 1979 claims the idea came from

C.A.R. Hoare and P. Brinch Hansen;

however, he gives no details or a date.

. about the same time that Liskov was working on Venus

David L. Parnas was mentioning "information hiding" 

referring to object-oriented modules

being preferred to functional decomposition.
