Publications

Here is a list of my publications, together with abstracts, bibtex entries and pdfs. The copyrights belong to the publishers, so I ask you to use these pdfs for your personal use only. For these same reasons, no pdfs are given for books and some book chapters once they appear. Also, I do not guarantee that what you get is exactly what is published, especially when the system is not camera-ready but involves some editing from the publisher.

There is also available code (most is free).
