Publications and Projects
A list of recent publications, research areas, and projects can be extracted from the site of the informal Information Management (formely Database) Research Group. The IM group consists mostly of students and former students involved in research under supervision of B. Novikov.
Additional information can be found on the official pages of
- the facultet of Mathematics and Mechanics (the word "facultet" here is a transliteration from Russian, borrowed from German 300 years ago. It is usually spelled as "faculty" on other Russian pages, however, in Russian universities "facultet" more or less corresponds to a school, rather than a faculty),
- the Dept. of Computer Science, the Dept. of Software Engineering,
- the Research Institute for Mathematics and Mechanics, and
- the Operations Research Laboratory in Russian or in English.
Bio
Boris A. Novikov graduated from the Leningrad University in 1972 as a Dipl. Math. (dept. of algebra and number theory), received a PhD in Comp.Sci. from the same university in 1981, and Dr. Sci. degree in 1994.
He joined the university's Operations Research lab. in 1972 and he is currently a professor at the department of computer science, St.-Petersburg university, Russia (actually the same university). He also leads the Operations Research laboratory and information management research group, and occasionally works as a database expert for the industry.
B. Novikov is a member of the ACM, SIGMOD, and Moscow chapter of ACM SIGMOD.
