Research Interests:
Professor Vaccaro has done research
in several areas: In particular, he has been working
on Coding Theory, Data Security, Parallel and Distributed
Computation, and applications of Information--Theoretical
methods to problems of Extremal Combinatorics and
Theoretical Computer Science.
He is now especially interested in
efficient algorithms for information
dissemination in interconnection networks and
Combinatorial Search Theory
