Colleagues
James Sumner has
done us a great service by compiling his list.
I would like to
propose two items for his list both linked to Andrew Booth at Birkbeck
College, London University.
I have published a
paper this year about him
Andrew Booth -
Britain's Other "Fourth Man" by Roger G Johnson in History of Computing -
Learning from the Past, Proceedings of IFIP 9.7 HC 2010 edited by Arthur Tatnell
published by Springer, IFIP ACT 325, 2010 pp.26-37.
Short History of the School of Computer
Science and Information Systems at Birkbeck College, May 2008, Birkbeck College,
pp32.
This contains a number of photos
and extended description of Booth's contribution as a computer pioneer and
also his contribution to the academic community and the founding of the
BCS.
Good wishes
Roger Johnson
