ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

"POPLOG" is a trade mark of the University of Sussex.

This Introduction to Pop-11 uses material produced over many years by colleagues in the School of Cognitive and Computing Sciences at Sussex University, including Steve Hardy, Max Clowes and John Gibson in the 1970s, and since then by colleagues at Sussex, Integral Solutions Ltd, The University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and Hewlett Packard Laboratories, including especially:

Harry Barrow, Ros Barrett, Graham Brown, Julian Clinton, Jonathan Cunningham, Chris Dollin, Ben du Boulay, Rob Duncan, Roger Evans, John Gibson, James Goodlet, Tom Khabaza, Rudi Lutz, Steve Knight, Clark Morton, Chris Mellish, Jon Meyer. Simon Nichols, Robin Popplestone, Ben Rabau, Allan Ramsay, Ian Rogers, Ben Rubinstein, Mark Rubinstein, Colin Shearer, Mike Sharples, Chris Slymon, Robert Smith, Chris Thornton, John Williams, David Young.

The language Pop-11 would not have existed, but for some excellent ideas of Robin Popplestone in the late 60s, which provided the basis for the family of "Pop" languages.

In recent years much of the development of Poplog has been done by the main commercial distributors Integral Solutions Ltd (ISL), working in collaboration with Sussex University. The chief architect of Poplog and Pop-11 remains John Gibson, at Sussex University, who designed and implemented the core mechanisms on which everything else depends including the compilers, store management, and interfaces to external languages and the operating system (Unix and VMS).
