Owen R. Mock was an American software designer and programmer who pioneered computer operating systems in the 1950s. In 1954 he was part of a group at the Los Angeles division of North American Aviation that developed the PACT series of compilers for the IBM 701. In December 1955 his group installed on the IBM 701 the North American 701 Monitor, described as the first operating system to be in operation. Mock's group then joined George Ryckman's group at General Motors Research to build Robert Patrick's non-stop batch processing design for the IBM 704, producing GM-NAA I/O, the first operating system for that machine, in production from 1956.
