David T. Cliff FRSA FIMA FBCS CITP (born 1966) is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bristol[2] and was formerly the Director of the UK Large-scale Complex IT Systems (LSCITS) Initiative.[3] Cliff is the inventor of the seminal "ZIP" trading algorithm,[4] one of the first of the current generation of autonomous adaptive algorithmic trading systems, which was demonstrated to outperform human traders in research published in 2001 by IBM.[5][6] He is also the inventor on multiple international patents[7] from the early 2000s concerning his invention hpDJ,[8][9] the world's first fully automated disk-jockey (DJ) system for electronic dance music, the precursor to present-day DJ automation tools such as Traktor.
