IBM has created five new IBM Fellows, who get complete freedom to pursue, for at least five years, any research or technical projects of their choice that are related to IBM’s business, and only 109 have been named since the programme was established 26 years ago: the five are Ms Frances Allen, Yorktown Heights, a leading authority in translating high-level computer languages into machine languages; Alfred Cutaia, Rochester, a prime contributor to the development of technology for mid-range computer systems; Donald Haderle, Santa Teresa, an acknowledged leader in data management and relational database technology; Russell Lange, Yorktown Heights, a major contributor to semiconductor development and manufacturing; and Larry Loucks, Austin, a recognised authority on small systems software and architecture.
