WAYNE STEVENS
Wayne P. Stevens (1944 - 1993) was a consultant, author, pioneer, and advocate of the practical application of software methods and tools. He grew up in Missouri, spent two years in India, where he attended the Woodstock School, and earned his M.S. in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 1967. He eventually became the chief architect of application development methodology for IBM's consulting group. The annual Stevens Award Lecture on Software Development Methods is named after him.
He wrote a seminal paper on Structured Design, with Larry Constantine and Glenford Myers.[1], and was the author of a number of books and articles on application design methodologies.[2]W.P. Stevens, ''How Data Flow can Improve Application Development Productivity,'' IBM System Journal, Vol. 21, No. 2, 1982W.P.

Allen Macro, Prentice Hall, 1990, ISBN 0-13-820242-7 [4][5] He also worked with John Paul Morrison to refine and promote the concepts of what is now called Flow-based programming, including descriptions of FBP in several of these references.
He belonged to the following honorary societies: Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Xi, Eta Kappa Nu, IEEE, and the ACM.
