Harlan Duncan Mills (May 14, 1919 - January 8, 1996) was professor of computer science at the Florida Institute of Technology and founder of Software Engineering Technology, Inc. As an IBM research fellow he adapted ideas from engineering and computer science, including automata theory and the structured programming theory of Edsger Dijkstra, Robert W. Floyd and others, to software development; his Cleanroom software development process emphasized top-down design and formal specification, and he contributed his ideas across six books and over fifty refereed articles.
