Add to that list Fred Brooks (IBM System/360, Brooks' Law): http://www.cs.unc.edu/~brooks/Toolsmith-CACM.pdf http://www.cs.unc.edu/~brooks/Toolsmith-CACM.pdf Relevant quote: "... the scientist builds in order to study; the engineer studies in order to build. ...

We are concerned with making things, be they computers, algorithms, or software systems."
