Ira+Baxter

an American entrepreneur, Ph.D. in [|computer science] from [|University of California, Irvine], 1990, and [|CEO] of [|Semantic Desigs]. He is the principal architect of Semantic Designs' [|Design Maintenance System] (DMS), principal designer and compiler implementer of PARLANSE, a parallel programming language , and architect and principal engineer on //CloneDR// , an [|AST]-based [|Clone Detection] technology. || toc =Software Dynamics= Involved with computing since 1966, Ira Baxter started //Software Dynamics// in 1976, a [|systems software house], where he designed [|compilers], [|time-sharing] and [|distributed network] [|operating systems], and the chess program SD Chess written in compiled Basic to run on a 6800 based microcomputer. A program called //Chess D// by Ira Baxter was on the Stand-By list of the WCCC 1983 in [|New York].
