Professor of Computer Sciences (1984)
Dr. Engineering., electronic engineering, University of Naples (Italy), 1973; Dipl. Perf., computer science, University of Salerno (Italy), 1976.
Professor Apostolico's research interests are in the areas of
algorithmic analysis and design and parallel computation.
His recent work deals with algorithms and data structures for
combinatorial pattern matching problem as arising in text editing,
data compression, picture processing, biomolecular sequence analysis,
etc. He is a coeditor (with Z. Galil) of the books Combinatorial
Algorithms on Words (Springer-Verlag) and
Pattern Matching Algorithms (Oxford Univ. Press),
serves on the editorial boards of Parallel Processing Letters,
Theoretical Computer Science, Journal of Computational Biology,
Chaos Theory and Applications,
and was guest editor for a special issue of
Algorithmica on string algorithms and their applications.
He also serves on the steering committee of the
International Symposia on Combinatorial Pattern Matching,
the Proceedings of which he co-edited in 1993, 1994, and 1997 on the
executive committees of the Fibonacci Institute for the Foundations
of Computer Science and of the MSE Program in Software
Engineering.
He has served on the program committees of many international
conferences, most recently, the International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming, the IEEE Data
Compression Conference, the IFIP Conference on Parallel
Algorithms for Irregularly Structured Problems, the
Workshop on Algorithms and Data Structures, etc., and as an
invited speaker at various international conferences and advanced
schools.
