Publications

This page contains bibliographic entries for most of my publications. It is fairly complete for the older publications; the only exclusions are technical reports that were later published in a more public forum.  Recent publications are more easily found through my DBLP page or my Google Scholar page.

In some cases I have also included links to an electronic version of the publication, although for copyright reasons the linked version is sometimes to a technical report that predates the publication version. For many of my recent publication, I have reserved the right to make a copy available, but for some of the older articles, I did not realize the importance of doing so.  More recently (post 2010),
publishers such as ACM and IEE who had previously been willing to allow me to distribute my own papers, began refusing permission to do so.  I hope to add more electronic versions as I find time, so if you require a copy of a paper that is not posted here, and yet is not marked as unavailable, please send me email. 

The list is divided into six sections.

  1. Works in progress
  2. Fully refereed papers (those refereed by a journal editorial board or the program committee of a selective conference).
  3. Loosely refereed papers (those reviewed by workshop committees, and invited papers at conferences)
  4. Books and Book Chapters
  5. Technical Reports and Unrefereed Papers (excluding those later published more formally above)
  6. My Doctoral Dissertation
