David Arthur Eppstein is a computer scientist, mathematician and Life enthusiast from California. He is Distinguished Professor in the Computer Science Department of the University of California, Irvine, director of the Center for Algorithms and Theory of Computation, and associate director of the Center for Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization.
For many years Dr. Eppstein maintained the "Gliders in Life-Like Cellular Automata" online database at fano.ics.uci.edu/ca/. That website has been offline since sometime in 2018, but there have been updates to the underlying database, and a replacement online search utility for the database has since been created.[note 1]
Notes
- ↑ The replacement web app is available by this direct link; see also a forum post introducing and describing the "gliderdb-searcher" utility. See also glider.db
