He designed the software for the Philco Transac S-2000, the first transistor based computer, and did influential work on programming language design that helped shape the ALGOL language. In 1947 he helped establish the Association for Computing Machinery and served as the first editor of its journal Communications of the ACM, and in 1979 he co-founded the Annals of the History of Computing journal.
