Mathematician:Joseph Hoshen

Mathematician
Known for the creation of Hoshen-Kopelman algorithm that is used to count clusters (connected components) in large lattices; over the years, the algorithm has found many applications in science and technology.

Demonstrated that solving GPS (Global Positioning System) equation is equivalent to solving the Problem of Apollonius in 3 dimensions.

Developed a graph theoretical method to resolve software dependencies problems; problems that in $1992$ almost brought the delivery of Lucent's 5ESS international switch software updates to a standstill.
