Oliver Sims (born 1943, died in 2015) was a British computer scientist, former IBM employee, and enterprise architecture consultant, known for his work on business objects[1] Object-oriented programming, and service-oriented architecture (SOA).
After attending George Watson's College and Neath Grammar School, Sims studied Economics and Statistics at Swansea University, where he received his BSc (Econ) with honours in 1969.
He held positions in software development, technical management and, in his last three years, in consultancy.
He described his goal as "to contribute to the transformation of software development, and IT's management of their assets, to much higher levels of productivity, responsiveness, and flexibility.
Achieving this goal is now possible through a synergistic combination of architectural design, traceability concepts, product line, middleware improvement, MDA, and agile processes.
