Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools - Principles, Techniques, and Tools

Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools, is known to professors, students, and developers worldwide as the "Dragon Book," . Every chapter has been revised to reflect developments in software engineering, programming languages, and computer architecture that have occurred since 1986, when the last edition published. The authors, recognising that few readers will ever go on to construct a compiler, retain their focus on the broader set of problems faced in software design and software development.

About the author

Alfred V. Aho ist Vizepräsident der Bell Labs. Er ist dort vor allem für die Software-Entwicklung zuständig. Er studierte Engineering Physics an der Universität von Toronto und promovierte 1965 bzw. 1967 in Elektrotechnik und Informatik an der Princeton University. Er besitzt zudem die Ehrendoktorwürde der University of Helsinki in Finnland and der University of Waterloo in Ontario, Kanada. 1995 wurde er Professor und Lehrstuhlinhaber des Informatik Fachbereichs an der Columbia University, NY. Er veröffentlichte mehr als 60 technische Papiere und Schriften über Computeralgorithmen, Datenstrukturen, Datenbanken und Compiler. Außerdem ist er Mitentwickler der Programmiersprache awk und des Aho-Corasick-Algorithmus im Jahre 1975.

Ravi Sethi, geb. 1947 in Murdana, Punjab, hat an dem Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur (IITK) Informatik studiert und seinen Ph.D. (Doktor der Philosophie) an der Princeton University, USA, gemacht. Er arbeitete als Lehrbeauftragter an der Penn State University, bevor er 1976 als Computerwissenschaftlerzu den Bell Laboratories (früher bekannt als AT&T Bell Laboratories and Bell Telephone Laboratories) wechselte. Heute ist er Präsidenten der Avaya Laboratorien, einem der führenden Anbieter von IP-Telefonie.
