Gary Haggard is Professor of Computer Science at Bucknell University. His research in data structures focuses on the implementation of effective algorithms for computing invariants for large combinatorial structures such as graphs. Dr. Haggard?s current work is directed towards finding chromatic polynomials of large graphs. John Schlipf is a Professor of Computer Science in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Cincinnati. His research interests include logic programming and deductive databases, algorithms for satisfiability, computability and complexity, formal verification, and model theory. Sue Whitesides is Professor of Computer Science at McGill University. She holds a Ph.D. from University of Wisconsin and a Masters from Stanford University. Her research interests lie within combinatorial mathematics and theoretical computer science.
