René M. Barone was born in 1945 in Marseilles (France).
The subject of his thesis was to develop a computer-aided organic synthesis (CAOS) program.
He wrote the first version of SOS (Simulated Organic Synthesis, 1973) which was the first French program in this field.
He entered CNRS in 1976. He was a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Professor M. L. H. Green in Oxford where he adapted SOS to the first organometallic CAOS program (1980).
Then he adapted SOS to an Apple II, which was the first CAOS program for a microcomputer (1982).
Since then his efforts aimed at developing CAOS softwares for microcomputers (MARSEIL, CONAN, HOLOWin, SESAM, ...)
He retired in 2010 and has, since then, been devoting his time to his family and hobbies: genealogy, painting, reading and photography (see Personnel).
