Hugh Darwen is a computer scientist who was an employee of IBM United Kingdom from 1967[1] to 2004, and has been involved in the development of the relational model.[2]
Work
From 1978 to 1982 he was a chief architect on
object-oriented databases.[7]
From 2004 to 2013 he lectured on
DTech (Doctor in Technology) honorary degree by the University of Wolverhampton.[11] He later taught a database language designed by Chris Date and himself called Tutorial D.[12]
Bridge
He has written two books on the card game bridge, both on the subject of double dummy problems, on which he has a website. Alan Truscott has called him "the world's leading authority" on composed bridge problems.[13] He was responsible for the double dummy column in Bridge Magazine and other UK bridge publications from 1965 to 2004.
Publications
His early works were published under the pseudonym of Andrew Warden: both names are anagrams of his surname.[clarification needed]
