Abstract:

Colin was Emeritus Professor of Software Practice at Middlesex University from where he retired only recently. He started his career at LEO Computers in the 1950s later joined me at the London School of Economics as a Research Fellow before moving on to York University, then returned to industry before being recruited by Middlesex University to inter alia oversee their research activities in computer science. He was a significant contributor to our understanding of the role of software in the overall system. Since his retirement he has been one of the most active members of the group of 23 academics who have expressed concern about the NHS NPfIT. He will be greatly missed both as a colleague and friend.
