Ronald V. Book

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ronald Vernon Book ((born April 1937; died May 28, 1997 in Santa Barbara, California) worked in theoretical computer science. He published more than 150 papers in scientific journals. He gave many talks at the following conferences:

  • STOC (Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing)
  • FOCS (Annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science)
  • ICALP (International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming sponsored by the European Association of Theoretical Computer Science)
  • MFCS (International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science)

His papers are of great impact for complexity theory and term rewriting.
