I just found out today that Middlesex University Emeritus Professor Colin Tully, an influential British computer scientist and a long-time friend, passed away on the 26th of December.
Colin and I first met over twenty years ago when I used to live in the UK, and we had many a lively discussion on information systems and technology risks and their management over the intervening years. Our latest conversations, the last of which was just a few weeks ago, have been about the risks surrounding the NHS National Program for IT (NPfIT), which Colin was deeply concerned about.
Colin will be missed in the software engineering community.
