Engineers whose defining technological contribution is software itself: programming languages and environments, software development method, and network and web protocols. Belongs here: Grace Hopper for the compiler, Ada Lovelace for the first published algorithm intended for a machine, Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn for the Internet protocols, and Tim Berners-Lee for the World Wide Web. Does not belong here: the hardware a piece of software runs on, grouped under Computer or Electrical Engineering, even when a single career, such as Winston W. Royce's, spans both hardware-era computing and software method.
