Publications and Work in progress
Often it happens that what is essentially a single project will result in more than one type of publication, typically with a later version (e.g., for a math journal) having more details or building on an earlier version (e.g., an extended abstract in the proceedings of a computer science conference). Multiple versions of a single project will be grouped together, with all links to a single version of the paper. All publications listed here have been peer-reviewed/refereed; technical reports are not listed.
