Bio:
Keith Smillie graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 1949 and has an M.A. and a Ph.D. in mathematical statistics from the University of Toronto. After working in Ottawa for private industry and also for the Federal Government for several years, he came to the University of Alberta in 1963 and the following year joined the newly formed Department of Computing Science. His main teaching interests were in introductory computing courses for students not majoring in computing science. His research interests have been first of all the statistical applications of array languages (APL, Nial and J) and secondly the history of computing. Since retiring in 1992 as Professor Emeritus of Computing Science, he has continued with his research in both areas. He has been Secretary of the Faculty Club since 1978, and a member of the Editorial Board of the Annals of the History of Computing since 1992
