Together they had two daughters and a son. On 24 August 1957 Wheeler married astrophysics research student Joyce Margaret Blackler.
The Computer Laboratory at the University of Cambridge annually holds the "Wheeler Lecture", a series of distinguished lectures named after him. In 2003, he was named a Computer History Museum Fellow Award recipient "for his invention of the closed subroutine, and for his architectural contributions to ILLIAC, the Cambridge Ring, and computer testing." In 1994 he was inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery. Wheeler was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1981, and received a Computer Pioneer Award in 1985 for his contributions to assembly language programming. He became a Fellow of Darwin College, Cambridge in 1964 and formally retired in 1994, although he continued to be an active member of the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory until his death. In August 1957 Wheeler married Joyce Blackler, who had used EDSAC for her own mathematical investigations as a research student from 1955. This represents the first use of a computer for a problem in the field of biology. In 1950, with Maurice Wilkes, he used EDSAC to solve a differential equation relating to gene frequencies in a paper by Ronald Fisher. In cryptography, he was the designer of WAKE and the co-designer of the TEA and XTEA encryption algorithms together with Roger Needham. He was responsible for the implementation of the CAP computer, the first to be based on security capabilities.
(However, Turing had discussed subroutines in a paper of 1945 on design proposals for the NPL ACE, going so far as to invent the concept of a return address stack. Wilkes published a paper in 1953 discussing relative addressing to facilitate the use of subroutines.
Along with Maurice Wilkes and Stanley Gill, he is credited with the invention around 1951 of the subroutine (which they referred to as the closed subroutine), and gave the first explanation of how to design software libraries as a result, the jump to subroutine instruction was often called a Wheeler Jump. Wheeler's contributions to the field included work on the Electronic delay storage automatic calculator (EDSAC) in the 1950s and the Burrows–Wheeler transform (published 1994). He was awarded the world's first PhD in computer science in 1951. In 1945 he gained a scholarship to study the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos at Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating in 1948. His education was disrupted by World War II, and he completed his sixth form studies at Hanley High School. He was educated at a local primary school in Birmingham and then went on to King Edward VI Camp Hill School after winning a scholarship in 1938. I have been using this approach with great success and I believe it could significantly improve this package too.Wheeler was born in Birmingham, England, the second of the three children of (Agnes) Marjorie, née Gudgeon, and Arthur Wheeler, a press tool maker, engineer, and proprietor of a small shopfitting firm. / Connect the generated function to the `toJson` method.
