Research Bibliography

Here I summarize the list of publications I have authored or co-authored.  This represents the research I have been involved in over the years in industry and academia.  I am locating copies of all of the papers and scanning them, in hopes that I can place them on the site in PDF form.  Some I have available in their MS-Word source, which have been converted to PDF already.  Many of these were created on other systems (Unix, Macintosh, VAX) over the years.

Unpublished Position & Research Summary Papers

These are papers that have been written in longer form, and are generally more survey oriented in nature.  They represent that state of the research work at the time (some of which are still in the works towards ultimate realization in a Journal paper or Book).  They are generally longer and more detailed than what is normally prescribed for conference or journal publications and, as such, are sometimes quite unpolished.  Some of the work from these original papers has been extracted and either published, or submitted for publication, in workshop, conference or journal form.
