Thomas Stephen Edward Maibaum Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA) is a computer scientist.
Maibaum has a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) undergraduate degree in pure mathematics from the University of Toronto, Canada (1970), and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in computer science from Queen Mary and Royal Holloway Colleges, University of London, England (1974).[1]
Maibaum has held academic posts at Imperial College, London, King's College London (UK) and McMaster University (Canada).[2] His research interests have concentrated on the theory of specification, together with its application in different contexts, in the general area of software engineering.
From 1996 to 2005,[3] he was involved with developing international standards in programming and informatics, as a member of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) IFIP Working Group 2.1 on Algorithmic Languages and Calculi,[4] which specified, maintains, and supports the programming languages ALGOL 60 and ALGOL 68.[5]
He is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology and the Royal Society of Arts.[3]
