	Peter Naur Biography
		Peter Naur (born October 25, 1928) is a Danish pioneer in computer science.
		Naur dislikes the very term computer science and suggests it be called dataology.

	Peter Naur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Peter Naur (born October 25, 1928) is a Danish pioneer in computer science and Turing award winner.
		From 1969 to 1998 Peter was a professor of computer science at Copenhagen University.
		In later years he has also been quite outspoken of the pursuit of science as a whole: Naur can possibly be identified with the empiricist school, that tells that one shall not seek deeper connections between things that manifest themselves in the world, but keep to the observable facts.

		The Naur in BNF is for Peter Naur, who made the notation popular after he used it to define the ALGOL 60 language.
		Peter Naur read the report and found he and Backus interpreted the ALGOL 58 language somewhat differently.
		Naur then decided that there must be a uniform set of symbols that could be used to define the grammar of a language, and drew up on his own notation—BNF—for ALGOL 60.

	DIKU: Peter Naur: The first professor at DIKU
		Peter Naur has spent most of his career in computer science, and he has made major contributions to the field, as we know it today.
		In addition, Naur was co-developer of the Backus-Naur notation; a notation that still is used when a precise description of the syntax of a programming language is needed.
		Naur heavily criticized the behaviorist view of human beings as complex computers, and he criticized the concept of artificial intelligence in the sense of computers that could reason in a manner that was comparable to that of human beings.

	Backus Normal Form vs. Backus Naur Form
		Naur is describing his participation in the December 1959 meeting of the European part of the ALGOL committee.
		Peter Naur speaks of 'my slightly revised form of Backus's notation' and 'my slightly modified form of Backus's notation.' I think the minor notation difference is not worth mentioning.
		If some people speak of Backus- Naur form instead of the original Backus Normal Form, then they indicate that Peter Naur, as the editor of the ALGOL 60 report, brought this notation to a wide attention.

	NATO Software Engineering Conference 1968
		Peter and I were very pleased to have such guidance on the structuring and general contents of the report, since we both wished to create something that was truly a conference report, rather than a mere personal report on a conference that we happened to have attended.
		Indeed Peter argued that we should not provide any additional text at all ourselves, but rather produce the main part of the report merely by populating the agreed structure with suitable direct quotations from spoken and written conference contributions.
		Peter Naur, wisely, was not prepared to repeat his editorial labours, but I - rather rashly - after some initial hesitation agreed to do so, this time in co-operation with John Buxton.

		Peter Naur was one half of the duo behind the Backus-Naur Form (BNF) grammar used to define programming languages.
		Naur wrote his piece in the 80s, when methods were a really hot topic dominated by Ed Yourdon's Structured Programming and Tom De Marco's Data Flow Diagrams.
		Naur thought that the really important thing to realize was that successful programmers had to establish a Theory about a problem before they could develop a Theory about the solution to it that would lead to, at the end of the process, a program text.

	Crystal Clear Main Page
		Peter Naur and Pelle Ehn wrote the two most compelling and accurate accounts of software development I have yet seen.
		Peter Naur, widely known as one of the authors of the programming language syntax notation "Backus-Naur Form" (BNF), wrote "Programming as Theory Building" in 1985.
		Using Naur's ideas, the designer's job is not to pass along "the design" but to pass along "the theories" driving the design.

	Syntactic Specification - Backus Naur Form
		There was a discussion on the proper title for this methodology of specification at the 1978 History of Programming Languages Conference, it originally having been given the title Backus Normal Form, after John Backus the developer of FORTRAN and then the developer of this system for the language ALGOL.
		The first major use of the specification language was by Peter Naur, the secretary of the ALGOL committee and the author of the first ALGOL Report.
		Naur slightly extended the notation and thereafter it got the name Backus-Naur Form.

	About BNF notation
		John Backus and Peter Naur introduced for the first time a formal notation to describe the syntax of a given language (This was for the description of the ALGOL 60 programming language, see [Naur 60]).
		Few read the report, but when Peter Naur read it he was surprised at some of the differences he found between his and Backus's interpretation of ALGOL 58.

	The Copenhagen model (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Naur consulted the Danish computer industry and put considerable effort into designing every aspect of a computer science course [1, 2].
		It is useful because it teaches students important lessons about collaboration, and necessary since projects should have a certain size in order to be interesting.
		Naur also discusses the organisation of project work, what ``reports'' typically should look like, and problems of evaluation, including the possibility of automatic grading of programs and students' mutual evaluation.

	Notations for context-free grammars: BNF, Syntax Diagrams, EBNF
		History: the very first version was created by John Backus, and shortly after improved by Peter Naur, and it was this improved version that was publicly used for the first time, to define Algol 60.
		Knuth's letter (which you may be able to access via ACM) is interesting to read, as it indicates exactly what he thought the importance concepts in BNF were.
		There is a message archived from the comp.compilers newsgroup that gives a different view of Naur's contribution.

		Naur made a few modificiations that are almost universally used and drew up on his own the BNF.

	Panini-Backus
		The formal structure of computer programming languages was introduced in the 1958-60 period by eminent scientists John Backus (1958), and Peter Naur (1963).
		Knuth (1964), in a Letter to the Editor of CACM, makes the point that the metasyntactic notation used in, e.g., the ALGOL 60 report (Naur 1963) should be renamed.
		In particular, he observes the well-acceded fact that the so-called Backus Normal Form is, indeed, not a normal form in any sense.
