F. Warren Burton, an American mathematician, computer scientist, and professor emeritus at Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, Canada. He earned his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in applied mathematics from University of Colorado Denver in 1972, and a Ph.D. in computing studies from University of East Anglia, Norwich, England, in 1977. His reasearch interests include functional programming and parallel computing. During the mid 80s along with Matthew Huntbach, both affiliated with University of East Anglia, Burton researched on parallel alpha-beta search and published an algorithm for deciding where and when to solve subproblems on a fixed finite network of processors [1], a virtual tree machine [2] [3].
