Doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.)


Markus Holzer obtained his doctorate in the field of theoretical computer science from the Universität Tübingen with the thesis

[1] M. Holzer. Data-Independent Versus Data-Dependent Computations on Multi-Head Automata. Doktorarbeit zur Erlangung eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat), Eberhard-Karls Universität zu Tübingen, February 1998.

under the supervision of Professor K.-J. Lange.

Parts of this thesis were presented at 19th, 20th, and 22nd Conference on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science:
