ROTHMAN Professor Noah S. Prywes passed away on
September 21, 2020. Prof. Prywes was born
in Warsaw, Poland in 1925. He immigrated
with his family to pre-state Israel in 1933 and
later attended the Technion-Israel Institute of
Technology studying Electrical Engineering.

He served in the Hagana and then the begin-
nings of the Israeli Navy. He moved to the
U.S. for graduate school, first at Carnegie In-
stitute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon
University) and then at Harvard University
where he obtained a Ph.D. in Applied Phys-
ics in 1954 before there were departments of
computer science. Dr. Prywes first worked on
early electronic computers at Univac in the
1950s, leading the computing unit for the
LARC computer, which was one of the
world’s first supercomputers. In 1958 he
took a job on the faculty of the Moore School
of Electrical Engineering at the University of
Pennsylvania where he was a professor in the
Department of Computer and Information
Sciences for 38 years. Noah’s early doctoral
students were some of the first to receive
Ph.D.’s from a Computer Science depart-
ment. Noah was a pioneer in many of the
most significant waves of computer techno-
logy over the past half century. In the 1960s
he created one of the first relational database
management systems (Multi-List). In the late
1960s and early 1970s, he advanced and
commercialized timesharing, the prede-
cessor to today’s cloud computing. In the
1980s and 1990s, he was at the forefront of
automatic programming, nonprocedural spe-
cification systems and reverse engineering,
and the application of these technologies to
parallel and distributed computing. In the
early 2000s, he developed innovative speech
technology for use in telephony. Noah ap-
plied his technology through several busi-
nesses to a wide range of domains—from
early automated payroll systems to financial
reporting for Wall Street banks as well as in
scientific computing and real-time systems
for aerospace and the military, particularly
Naval systems. Noah published prolifically,
was awarded numerous patents, and was a
Fellow of the IEEE Computer Society. Dr. Pry-
wes was an active member of Lower Merion
Synagogue in Bala-Cynwyd, PA, once serving
as president. He is survived by his wife of 67
years, Dr. Ruth W. Prywes, three sons (Me-
nahem, Daniel and Ron Prywes), and seven
grandchildren. RAPPAPORT

Judaism isn’t just what we believe, or the prayers
we recite or the laws we observe. It’s also about
the way we live. How we interact with others.

The values we practice. The customs and traditions
we embrace and pass down, from one generation
to the next.
