Roger D. Moore (November 16, 1939 - March 21, 2019) was an American-born computer scientist best known for his work, with Larry Breed and Richard H. Lathwell, on the implementation of the APL\360 programming language, for which the three shared the ACM Grace Murray Hopper Award in 1973. Moore earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Stanford University in 1963 and had earlier worked on the SUBALGOL compiler there and on ALGOL 60 compilers for the Ferranti-Packard 6000 and the ICT 1900. In 1964 he co-founded I. P. Sharp Associates in Toronto, serving as its vice-president until 1989 and helping build its time-sharing services and the IPSANET packet-switching network.
