The Oxford University Computing Laboratory (OUCL) is the computer science department at Oxford University in England. It was originally set up under the direction of Leslie Fox in 1957. It consists of the Programming Research Group (PRG) and the Numerical Analysis Group (NAG). The Computing Service for the University was split off in 1977. It moved from Banbury Road to 8?11 Keble Road opposite Keble College, with the Wolfson Building, expanding the accommodation significantly behind the original row of Victorian buildings in 1993. For many years, OUCL was led by Sir Tony Hoare, who initiated the computer science undergraduate course at Oxford University. The current Director is Professor Bill Roscoe.
