Home > List of computer scientists
This is a list of computer scientists, people who do work in computer science, in particular researchers and authors.
Some persons notable as programmers are included here because they work in research as well as program. A few of these people pre-date the invention of the digital computer; they are now regarded as computer scientists because their work can be seen as leading to the invention of the computer. Others are mathematicians whose work falls within what would now be called theoretical computer science, such as complexity theory and algorithmic information theory.

- John BackusJohn Backus (born December 3, 1924) is an American computer scientist, notable as the inventor of the first high-level programming language ( FORTRAN), the Backus-Naur form (BNF, the almost universally used notation to define formal language syntax), and - FORTRAN
- Rudolf BayerRudolf Bayer is Professor (emerit. of Informatics at the Technical University of Munich since 1972. He is famous for inventing the B-Tree and later the UB-Tree. He is a recipient of 2001 ACM SIGMOD Edgar F. Codd Innovations Award.

B-trees keep data sorted and allow amortized logarithmic time insertions and deletions. Conceptually speaking, B-trees grow from t
