Arnold L. Rosenberg

Interests

Theoretical and algorithmic aspects of modern computing environments, such as clusters and grids.

Research

Professor Rosenberg's research focuses on developing algorithmic models and techniques to deal with the new modalities of "collaborative computing" that result from emerging technologies such as cluster computing, web computing, and grid computing. He is the (co)author of more than 150 technical papers on these and other topics in theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics, and he is the coauthor of a 2001 book: Graph Separators, with Applications.
