David Neto's Home Page

On May 25, 1999 I passed my PhD senate defense at the University of Toronto. I did my research in the Department of Computer Science. The committee of examiners were: Derek Corneil (my supervisor), Mike Molloy, Ken Sevcik, Mike Carter, and William Cook. My thesis title is Efficient Cluster Compensation for Lin-Kernighan Heuristics. The software created for the research is freely available.
