Who is David Musser?
David "Dave" Musser is a professor emeritus of computer science at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, U.S.
He is known for his work in generic programming, particularly as applied to C++, and his collaboration with Alexander Stepanov. Their work together includes coining the term "generic programming" in Musser & Stepanov, and led to the creation of the C++ Standard Template Library.
In Musser, he developed the sorting algorithm called introsort, and the related selection algorithm called introselect, to provide algorithms that are both efficient and have optimal worst-case performance, for use in the STL.
In 2007 he retired from Rensselaer.
