C. A. R. Hoare
Program correctness, from algorithms published as code (Find and Quicksort, 1961-62) to the axiomatic basis for proving what a program does without running it (1969) and its application back to those same algorithms in 1971. The other strand is what a program may touch or share: procedures and parameters on aliasing, and monitors and communicating sequential processes on concurrency. The corpus also holds his later doubt about the necessity of proof, 'How did software get so reliable without proof?' (1996), so the set is an argument rather than a reputation. dblp: https://dblp.org/pid/h/CARHoare
