Abstract
Dr. William C. Carter (1917–1996) was a key figure in the formation and development of the field of dependable computing and fault tolerance. He graduated in mathematics at the Balliol College in Oxford, England, and received his doctorate in mathematics from Harvard University in 1947. His career spanned over four decades, from programming, debugging, and recovery in ENlAC, through reliability, availability and serviceability during the evolution and definition of IBM mainframes. He designed and developed computers and programming systems for Raytheon, Datamatic, Honeywell and IBM, he was a fellow of IEEE, and he with his brother established a Carter Professorship in Mathematics at the Colby College, Waterville, Maine.
