  4. The International Mathematical Union awards the 2006 Rolf Nevanlinna Prize to Professor Jon M. Kleinberg Computer Science Department Cornell University New York, USA Date of birth: October 1971

  5. The Nevanlinna Prize citation For deep, creative and insightful contributions to the mathematical theory of the global information environment, including • the influential “hubs and authorities” algorithm; • methods for discovering short chains in large social networks; • techniques for modeling, identifying and analyzing bursts in data streams; • theoretical models of community growth in social networks; and • contributions to the mathematical theory of clustering.

  7. More on Jon Kleinberg’s work Kleinberg’s combination of mathematical ability, superb taste in interesting problems, breadth of interests, and sense of strategy is both dazzling and unmatched. His work has had a fundamental impact on the effectiveness of today’s most advanced Web search engines, and his mathematical insights have had application to Internet routing, data mining, discrete optimization, and the sociology of the Web.
