Hi allansn, That would be Howard Bandy, I believe.
Also, one could write a pretty interesting book on system development, particularly highlighting the necessary metrics the system would need to display to indicate effectiveness, and necessary testing methodology that would verify that the metrics were really there -- without ever claiming to have found a tradable system. Of course, it would be even *more* interesting to see a great system with audited broker statements. ^_^ But it wouldn't be *necessary* to have even one tradable system to write a very interesting book on the subject of designing them and testing them.
