Information About

David Harel




David Harel (born 1950) is a Professor of Computer Science at the Weizmann Institute Of Science in Israel . Born in London , England , he was Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at the institute for seven years.

Harel is best known for his work on s, Graph Layout , Systems Biology and the communication of Odour s.

He is now working on a computer model of a nematode, 'Caenorhabditis elegans', which was the first multicellular organism to have its genome completely sequenced. The eventual completeness of such a model depends on his updated version of the test developed by Alan Turing to identify whether computers could reason well enough that a human communicating with them could not tell whether a human or a machine was at the other end of the communication.
