Brian Warboys (born 30 April 1942), was Professor of Software Engineering at the University of Manchester from 1985 until he retired in September 2007. He was subsequently appointed as Professor Emeritus and continues to undertake research. Before joining the university he had worked for ICL, then the UK's largest computer manufacturer. During the 1970s he had been the chief designer of ICL's VME operating system. He is also the author of several non-fiction books.

Warboys worked for ICL from 1963 to 1985. During the 1970s he was Chief Designer of VME.
University of Manchester
As Professor of Software Engineering, Warboys researches the development of techniques which enable the dynamic evolution of the design of very large systems.[3] Together with Dr. Suzanne Embury, he is a principal of the Informatics Process Group (IPG) in the School of Computer Science. It was established in 1991 to advance the application of Process Modelling in the context of the organization. Between 1997 and 2002 he led the Compliant Systems Architecture (CSA) projects.[4] Within Europe he has headed the Manchester operating system team on the ESPRIT-funded EDS project, and the IPG's involvement in the ESPRIT Basic Research Activity PROMOTER on software process modelling and technology. In 2001 he led the IPG's involvement in the Framework IV Basic Research Action PIE, process instance evolution, project.[5]
Recognition
He was appointed the first ICL Fellow in 1984.
