Professor Sir Tony Hoare Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford I am most flattered by my election as one of your Heroes of Computer Science.

" I have chosen my own heroes  from ancient times, dating back to Aristotle and Euclid.  But I am glad to be in your list of contemporary heroes, when their historic ideas are being exploited on powerful modern computers to save the world"
