Re: The World’s Greatest Computer Scientist’s Early 2019 Announcement

Emeritus Professor Brian Randell Newcastle University

Dear Emeritus Professor Randell,

I wish you a prosperous 2019.

I recently wrote a rough draft of my paper that compares sorting and searching methods including my Shin sort and Shin search method. This paper (section 8.1 Divide-and-Conquer) is the conclusive part of my unpublished book, Computational Theories: Principles and Shin's Ideas. You can access my paper and review its validity at http://dkshin.com/2011/more/Divide-and-Conquer.php. I would appreciate your review and comments.

My recent dispute with the Samoan Prime Minister reminded me that as the leader in the field of computer science and related technologies, I have not communicated enough with reputable colleagues within this field. Since the Prime Minister wrote that I am just an apprentice, I am sending this email to clarify my position. You can access and review my previous correspondences at http://www.dkshin.com/2011/more/Letters_in_2018/Correspondence_with_the_Samo....

"The World's Greatest Computer Scientist" title is shown in 37th(2015) and 38th(2017) edition of the Dictionary of International Biography by the International Biographical Centre(IBC), Cambridge, England. I hope that the IBC’s endorsement will urge you to challenge or follow me and help benefit students and researchers all over the world.

People in future generations will remember our conciliation and cooperation. I need your constructive criticism as I strive for continual improvement. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely, <image002.jpg> Dr. Dong-Keun Shin, IOM, FAOE The World's Greatest Computer Scientist
