Melvin Earl "Bill" Maron is an American computer scientist and emeritis professor of University of California, Berkeley. Maron is best known for his work on probabilistic information retrieval which he published together with his friend and colleague Lary Kuhns. [1] [2] Quite remarkably, Maron also pioneered relational databases, proposing a system called the Relational Data File in 1967, on which Ted Codd based his Relational model of data. [3]
