Serge Joseph Abiteboul is a computer scientist working in the areas of data management, database theory, and finite model theory.
Abiteboul received his PhD from the University of Southern California under the supervision of Seymour Ginsburg, in 1982.
He is a senior researcher at the Institut national de recherche en informatique et en automatique (INRIA), the French national research institute focussing on computer science and related areas, and has been a professor of the Collège de France.
He is known for his many contributions in the areas of finite model theory, database theory, and database systems. In finite model theory, the Abiteboul-Vianu Theorem states that polynomial time is equal to PSPACE if and only if fixed point logic is the same as partial fixed point logic. In database theory, he has contributed a wide variety of results, the most recent on languages for the distributed processing of XML data. In data management, he is best known for his early work on semistructured and Web databases. In 2008, according to Citeseer, he is the most highly cited researcher in the data management area who works at a European institution.
Abiteboul is also known for two books, one on database theory and one on Web data management.
Abiteboul became a member of the French Academy of Sciences in 2008, of the European Academy of Sciences in 2011, and a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery in 2011.
