Ira D. Baxter, an American entrepreneur, Ph.D. in computer science from University of California, Irvine, 1990, and CEO of Semantic Desigs. He is the principal architect of Semantic Designs' Design Maintenance System (DMS) , principal designer and compiler implementer of PARLANSE , a parallel programming language , and architect and principal engineer on CloneDR, an AST-based Clone Detection technology.

=Software Dynamics= Involved with computing since 1966, Ira Baxter started Software Dynamics in 1976, a systems software house, where he designed compilers, time-sharing and distributed network operating systems, and the chess program SD Chess written in compiled Basic to run on a 6800 based microcomputer, A program called Chess D by Ira Baxter was on the Stand-By list of the WCCC 1983 in New York.
