Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Programming language
  • Operating system
  • Algorithm

Alfred V. Aho mostly deals with Programming language, Theoretical computer science, Compiler, Parsing and Algorithm. His Indexed grammar study in the realm of Programming language connects with subjects such as sort, AWK and Data transformation. His Theoretical computer science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Data structure and Relational model, Relational database, Conjunctive query, Relational algebra.

His studies deal with areas such as Instruction selection, Code generation, Text processing, Interpreter and Relational database management system as well as Parsing. His Code generation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Binary expression tree, Parsing expression grammar and Pointer analysis. His Algorithm study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Graph and Conformance testing.

His most cited work include:

  • The Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms (7880 citations)
  • Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools (6194 citations)
  • Efficient string matching: an aid to bibliographic search (2823 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Programming language, Theoretical computer science, Algorithm, Discrete mathematics and Compiler. His work in Theoretical computer science addresses issues such as Conjunctive query, which are connected to fields such as Relational algebra. Alfred V. Aho has included themes like Code generation and Code in his Algorithm study.

His Discrete mathematics study which covers Combinatorics that intersects with Sequence and Upper and lower bounds. He is involved in the study of Compiler that focuses on Compiler construction in particular. His study in Parsing is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Rule-based machine translation and Arithmetic.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Programming language, Compiler, Software engineering, Computation and Source code. In his works, Alfred V. Aho performs multidisciplinary study on Programming language and Fault detection and isolation. The various areas that Alfred V. Aho examines in his Compiler study include Computer Aided Design and Computer architecture.

His study focuses on the intersection of Software engineering and fields such as Software quality with connections in the field of Empirical process and Software testing. His Source code study incorporates themes from Dependency, Java and Tracing. His Debugging research includes themes of Control flow and Code.

Between 2005 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools (2nd Edition) (330 citations)
  • Do Crosscutting Concerns Cause Defects (218 citations)
  • Computation and Computational Thinking (159 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Programming language
  • Operating system
  • Algorithm

His scientific interests lie mostly in Software engineering, Compiler, Software quality, Computation and Programming language. His Software engineering research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Empirical process, Software testing and Ambiguity. The Compiler study combines topics in areas such as Computer architecture and High-level programming language.

His work in the fields of Software metric overlaps with other areas such as Modularity. His work on Symbolic-numeric computation is typically connected to Term, Human-based evolutionary computation and Human-based computation as part of general Computation study, connecting several disciplines of science.
