Neil Deaton Jones (22 March 1941 Centralia, Illinois, USA - 27 March 2023, Rungsted, Denmark) was an American computer scientist. He was a Professor Emeritus in computer science at University of Copenhagen.
His work spanned both programming languages and the theory of computation. Within programming languages he was particularly known for his work on partial evaluation and for pioneering work within both data-flow analysis, control-flow analysis[1] and termination analysis.[2] Within the theory of computation, he was among the pioneers of the study of Log-space reductions and P-completeness.[3]
Neil D. Jones was a Knight of the Order of the Dannebrog (since 1998) and also a member of the Academia Europaea (since 1999). He was a 1998 Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery for "outstanding contributions to semantics-directed compilation, especially partial evaluation, and to the theory of computation, formal models and their practical realization".[4]

Flow chart language (FCL) is a simple imperative programming language designed for the purposes of explaining fundamental concepts of program analysis and specialization, in particular, partial evaluation. The language was first presented in 1989 by Carsten K. Gomard and Neil D. Jones. It later resurfaced in their book with Peter Sestoft in 1993, and in John Hatcliff's lecture notes in 1998. The below describes FCL as it appeared in John Hatcliff's lecture notes. FCL is an imperative programming language close to the way a Von Neumann computer executes a program. A program is executed sequentially by following a sequence of commands, while maintaining an implicit state, i.e. the global memory. FCL has no concept of procedures, but does provide conditional and unconditional jumps. FCL lives up to its name as the abstract call-graph of an FCL program is a straightforward flow chart. An FCL program takes as input a finite series of named values as parameters, and produces a value as a result.
Neil Ronald Jones (May 29, 1909 – February 15, 1988) was an American writer who worked for the state of New York. His first story, "The Death's Head Meteor," was published in Air Wonder Stories in 1930, possibly recording the first use of "astronaut" in fiction. He also pioneered cyborg and robotic characters, and is credited with inspiring the modern idea of cryonics. Most of his stories fit into a "future history" like that of Robert A. Heinlein or Cordwainer Smith, well before either of them used this convention in their fiction.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
