James John (Jim) Gillogly,
an American computer scientist and cryptographer from RAND Corporation. He graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 1978, receiving a Ph.D. in computer science. His thesis Performance Analysis of the Technology Program was advised by Allen Newell [2].
James Gillogly was the primary author of the The Technology Chess Program, which was the predecessor of all modern chess programs, using a Shannon Type A Strategy. In 1970, Tech was written in BLISS, a system programming language developed at Carnegie Mellon, and in 1977 ported to C. Gillogly further authored the Fortran chess player dubbed MAX [3], and along with Samuel Fuller and John Gaschnig, analyzed the alpha-beta algorithm [4].
