Fundamental Problems in Computing is in honor of Professor Daniel J. Rosenkrantz, a distinguished researcher in Computer Science. Professor Rosenkrantz has made seminal contributions to many subareas of Computer Science including formal languages and compilers, automata theory, algorithms, database systems, very large scale integrated systems, fault-tolerant computing and discrete dynamical systems. For many years, Professor Rosenkrantz served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the Association for Computing Machinery (JACM), a very prestigious archival journal in Computer Science. His contributions to Computer Science have earned him many awards including the Fellowship from ACM and the ACM SIGMOD Contributions Award.

There are various papers by Prof. Rosenkrantz himslef that are selected for this volume. Other authors will include Turing Award Winner Prof. Richard Stearns, Prof. Jeff Ullman, Prof. Zvi Kadem, Prof. Phil Lewis, and other colleagues of Prof. Rosenkrantz, and his students who are now faculty at various places.
