Victor Vianu is a computer scientist, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of California, San Diego .[ 1] He served as editor-in-chief of the Journal of the ACM from 2009 to 2015.[ 2] [ 3]
Vianu did his graduate studies at the University of Southern California , earning his Ph.D. in 1983 under the supervision of Seymour Ginsburg ; he joined the UCSD faculty in 1984.[ 1]
Vianu's book Foundations of Databases (with Serge Abiteboul and Richard Hull, Addison-Wesley, 1995) is a standard graduate textbook in database theory . In finite model theory and computational complexity theory , the Abiteboul–Vianu theorem (also published with Abiteboul, at the 1991 Symposium on Theory of Computing ) states that polynomial time equals PSPACE if and only if fixed-point logic equals partial fixed-point logic. At the 2010 Symposium on Principles of Database Systems , Vianu and his co-authors Dan Suciu and Tova Milo won the Alberto O. Mendelzon Test-of-Time Award for their work ten years prior on type checking for XML transformation languages .[ 4] Vianu and his co-author Luc Segoufin won a second Alberto O. Mendelzon Test-of-Time award in 2015, for their 2005 article "Views and Queries: Determinacy and Rewriting."
In 2006, Vianu was elected as a Fellow of the ACM for his "contributions to database management systems ".[ 5]
In 2013, he was elected Fellow of the AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science). He was elected to Academia Europaea in 2014.
In his first paper recorded by DBLP [ 6] (presented at MFCS , 1977), Vianu acknowledges Solomon Marcus for guidance.[ 7]
