His award from the ACM was as follows: For their work in the design and implementation of APL\360, setting new standards in simplicity, efficiency, reliability and response time for interactive systems. Moore was a founder of I.P. Sharp Associates and held a senior position in the company for many years. Before this he contributed to the SUBALGOL compiler at Stanford University and wrote the Algol 60 compiler for the Ferranti-Packard 6000 and the ICT 1900.
