From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eiiti Wada (和田英一, 1 June 1931)[1] is a computer scientist and emeritus professor at the University of Tokyo[2] and the Research Director of Internet Initiative Japan (IIJ), a computer network technology company.[3] He is one of the creators of the Happy Hacking Keyboard.
He was involved with developing international standards in programming and informatics.[1]
In 1968, the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) IFIP Working Group 2.1 on Algorithmic Languages and Calculi (WG2.1) solicited a new version of the programming language ALGOL to succeed ALGOL 60. Iwamura, Kakehi, Simauti, Wada, and Nobuo Yoneda were members of the design team of a Japanese candidate language named ALGOL N, but it was not chosen for what became ALGOL 68.[1]
In 1972, he became a member of IFIP WG2.1,[1][4] which specified, maintains, and supports ALGOL 60 and 68.[5]
He was a member of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and chairperson of its National Member Body of ISO/TC97, now JTC1/SC2. There, he contributed much, especially for character encoding set standards. Later, he helped create the related Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) X 0208, 0212.[1]
As of 2020[update], he works on computer graphics for the Internet Initiative Japan (IIJ) Innovation Institute.[3]
